I don't think he means that - but you being in the class of people that has to fix real bugs, and deliver working software puts you at a disadvantage compared to people who just blow hot air and talk in circles, even if you are a charming social butterfly outside of word.
That .. is not what is meant here. Neurodivergent people surely can also be narcisstic psychopaths, but it is not really related as far as I know.
Neurodivergent is not just one thing.

Are there people on the autism spectrum at leadership level? - Steve Jobs was considered to be one even though he was not formally diagnosed as one.

Are there people on ADD/ADHD spectrum at leadership levels - yes, I know of a few..

Are there people with sociopathic tendencies at leadership level - You can answer this one :)
