Cats and dogs in the workplace: AS vs low-IQ extroverts

I have to deal; I think we all do. You can have Obama's IQ (sorry to brag but no lie; I do), being a wordsmith or a math or computer whiz with a head full of facts, and still get ignored, passed over or worse at work in favor of chatty people with the brains of hamsters, so they can barely, if that, do the work, but doggone it, people like them.

Sometime this seems to happen to normals but usually for them there's an explanation: the idiot is a boss's or owner's cousin or something, is independently wealthy and somehow invested in the business or is very attractive and doing somebody who's up in the hierarchy.

Regardless, AS people and such mix like cats and dogs.

Sure, no fair. Who said life is fair?
