Like you I am mildly autistic and introverted, and my comments and thoughts are based on my experiences in the environments which created them. Perhaps the message that I was trying to convey was that it's worth it to be socially active, but it came out looking like it was all about the dollars. I don't think it can be overstated that you need personal marketing (as smooth as it may be) or you need politics when it comes to advancement at larger organizations though.
Obviously that's not the ideal, but it is the way that I've seen things go -- those who are more socially forward and better at highlighting their achievements tend to do better in large companies than those of us that struggle with it.
