Same state as me, same party as me, same spectrum as me:

I could see some politicians having it and being good at masking the downsides. There are upsides that would help, such as focus on specific topics, but the poor social skills would indeed be a hindrance. I can mask it sometimes, but my stuttering and general introverted behavior would raise flags.

Possibly Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and maybe Hillary Clinton.

Nope. Trump has something, but he's far too social to be autistic. I think Jeb and Hillary are just introverted. No idea where you got the other names from, just sounds like you're naming well-known politicians. Tongue
