"There is a stereotype that public office is only for people with neurotypical social skills, people who are extroverted,"

Almost like you have to interact with people. Is she actually autistic or just some mild form of introvert? My wife went to some centers for autism for a project at work and from what she told me, severe cases of autism are traumatizing to watch. There is a reason why people in most positions should not be autistic.

some mild form of introvert

They like to call that "on the spectrum" now. I guess so instead of a combination of being okay with being an introvert and learning to deal with it where needed, you just claim Autism and expect everyone else to cater to you.

And belittle those of us that are autistic and can interact normally but find it physically and mentally exhausting, so from myself only go fuck yourself with razor wire candidate

There's a huge difference between not only different types of autism, but individuals with those autistic afflictions.

For example on the high intelligence end of autism you often have people that don't innately understand social cues well. Their mind processes social input in a completely different manner. That doesn't mean however that it cannot become a learned behavior.

This chick is just an attention whore who doesn't understand power dynamics. You will never succeed in politics unless you're either willing to sell yourself like a whore in a market, or to exert such social pressure that you take control of both a the conversation and the room you're speaking in.

What she's telling you to your face there is that she's a weak person and will acquiesce to whoever exerts functional control over here.
