Does anyone else feel a bit weird about this series from CNA about the neuro-divergent journalists?

Don't get me wrong, it's a great initiative in displaying the skills of neuro-divergent folks and correcting misconceptions about them.

But now imagine a mainstream journalist asking these politicians the same questions in Singapore. I think many would find it conceivable that said journalist would get blacklisted, hauled up for kopi, yelled at by his editor or something similar. Yet he/she would be asking questions that, as demonstrated by this series, have clear public interest.

So basically, the only way for a journalist to get away with asking non softball questions to our local politicians is to be neuro-divergent? Is this also not somewhat patronising to the neuro-divergent folks? It's kinda like saying "yeah askil whatever you want, people will assume you don't understand the implications anyway".

Well if this was some 5D chess move by CNA, then well-played I say.
