First of all, you can lose the attitude. I'll say whatever needs to be said.
Expanding college autism programs is one obvious solution. Autism programs are often understaffed, with only a handful of tutors trained in various math/science disciplines. An autist should be able to major in anything an NT can major in, and still receive adequate opportunities for tutoring and advice. If you disagree with this, then you agree with discriminatory policies and I don't know what else to say to you.
Another goal we should work toward is greater representation for autistic people with non-STEM careers. We need more autistic artists, musicians, and athletes in the spotlight. I don't think this is unreasonable.
