Why is society so fucking weird about autistic people?
We don't have a means of providing adequate standards of living to the healthiest and most hard working domestic residents. We are literally beyond ourselves when it comes to dealing with differences and disabilities, particularly cognitive ones. If you can't sit in a factory mindlessly churning out widgets, you can't sit at a cubicle mindlessly churning out python scripts, and you can't sit in a back office mindlessly churning out excel spreadsheets documenting the next round of financial crimes, we just don't know what you're supposed to do with your life.
Which is to say, fuck society
This particular society is pretty fucked, but it hasn't always been this way and it certainly doesn't need to continue to be.
