As someone on the spectrum, I approve this message. I wish society was a meritocracy.

Or just more understanding of different types of intelligence.
Just a heads up the term meritocracy was actually coined to describe an impossibility, since all judgement of worth in society is subjective.

Even if you pick an objective metric, it was decided upon subjectively and with bias.

I can appreciate wanting society to be more egalitarian, but perhaps you’re in search of another word.

So is egalitarianism.
