Another way to interpret the parent comment would be that a lot of people are autistic.

The parent comment is also saying if they weren’t autistic, half the it force would be gone. Sounds pretty black and white.

It’s saying that the conditions and traits that tend to select for IT people is often represented in autistic populations. Anyone that’s managed in IT can attest to this. Maybe “half” was a figurative exaggeration for effect, but you seem to be injecting an entirely different meaning and bias into the comment.
