It's not expectation of sameness, it's that they will be working with 'normal' people and need to meet some standard to not be a net negative for any team they're in.

I think there's a tacit expectation to fit into a mold and that mold is heavily skewed towards extroverted neurotypical traits.

Neurotypical means something, after all. Extroverted, I wouldn't say.

Basic game theory, really. Business are not charities. Hiring a neurodiverse person is riskier than a neurotypical one.
