Dumb train of thought before coffee has kicked in: was talking to an old-person-in-tech last night who was bemoaning cultural changes. Seemingly those were forced by the industry having absorbed 100% of the world’s production of aspies but needing more workers than that.

So positions that used to require autism got down-skilled so they could be filled by normies, and the culture had to change to accommodate them. It’s not that normies are inherently good at self-promotion, it’s that they’re not bringing anything else to the job.

Yeah, I’m sorry. Possibly that would have been different a few decades ago.
