Since I'm not wholly convinced, and in the spirit of critical thinking... let me have some thoughts:

I'm certainly autistic, but I wouldn't describe myself as all that insightful, so I'm not certain if that's universally true? I'm just quite skeptical of such claims, especially since autism and ADHD have significant variation in how they manifest; there might well be an effect, but individual variation has quite a lot to say about it, too.

I also don't know that autistic/ADHD people are "naturally" more inclined to be analytical in such situations? I haven't noticed it among those I'm familiar with, at least... (For myself, I'd say I'm rather more analytical than emotional, but I am quite sure that is because of effort on my part, instead of something I am.)

That aside... I'd say that actively working on these skills is still necessary, whether or not you're naturally better at them; it can only make you better, at least.

I'm most probably taking this quite a bit more seriously than it was meant to be, but I just couldn't resist!
