I was tested last year and diagnosed with minor autism and a top 1% IQ. In my career it did cause a kind of friction, but not "attitude". The friction came about when I instinctively fought for the ability to work in the manner that I needed in order to function at a high level. But I was always easy to get along with otherwise.
Maybe the distinction is that autists will cause friction defensively whereas if someone is being a jerk, that's its own thing.
