It's a description of "neurotypical people" from the perspective of somebody who has autism/ADHD.
This is opposed to autistic people "having intense interests." If a high level of interest in a particular topic is my "normal," then other people's levels of interests seem very low by comparison.
This is opposed to autistic people "stimming" in various forms. Exploring textures, staring at interesting lights, engaging in repetitive physical movements, and more are all examples of "stimming." A lot of neurotypical people wouldn't wave their hands between their eyes and a light just to enjoy the visual (and physical) sensations that arise from it - unless they're tripping balls. Some people can't seem to appreciate a super soft blanket, or how strange their own body feels, until they've taken some kind of mind-altering substance that heightens their sensory experience. Even just on thoughts and ideas alone, I can't count how many times I've said things that made people go, "What are you smoking? (And are you willing to share?)"
When you've always stuck out, the idea of "blending in" is laughable. I've never had the luxury of being a wallflower. I've come across so many people who have had good reason to speak up or stand out, yet they'd been terrified of breaking from conformity. From the perspective of someone who lacks the compulsive need to align themselves with an in-group, being so scared of "standing out" feels rather silly.
Does that help make more sense?
Don’t hold back. Just come out and say it that you think people who can actually hold a conversation with each other are just pathetic and you look down on them.
Not that distant from what an incel would write.
Is there any particular reason why you're trying so hard to find an insult? Surely, you understand that not every autistic person is a hate-filled incel?
