Any time someone suggests giving an NT a position of power, repeat what’s in the charter. Some are gonna say “that’s insulting” or “that’s reductive” but seriously, what defines autism is difficulty with the kind of social head games that humans use for many purposes, and one of those purposes is obtaining power over other humans. The fact that NTs are better than autistics at obtaining power over other humans is not one that can be argued against. (There are many allistic neurodivergents who are probably just as bad at it as we are, for possibly different reasons, but on average an NT will always be better than an autistic at politics-playing."
This is a bizarrely skewed idea of "neurotypical," and it reminds me of when asexuals think that people who aren't asexual are obsessed with sex and defined by sex and will constantly demand sex. The more you define yourself by a binary, the less your view of people on the other side of that binary will have any relationship with reality.
