I can be a glorified slightly above average ticket pusher, where do I sign up for a million per year job?!

No. FAANG companies and quant firms want people who are independent and self-directed, not people who need to be told what to do.
There are a lot of incredibly smart non-autists. Or maybe slightly autistic, but enough awareness of the real world that they can be managed.
