About Autism. When they say that there are many employees who have autism, they most likely mean all the autism spectrum disorders. And this includes very light border forms, and the same Asperger syndrome, in which intelligence is often preserved.
Early autism (also called Canner syndrome) is a much more severe disorder, which in most cases is accompanied by a decrease in intelligence.
In fact, autists are rarely geniuses. But they have special talents, such as good mechanical memory (even with reduced intelligence) and special determination in studying a narrow range of interests.
With preserved intelligence, people with autism are often interested in schemes, techniques, and mathematics. And if an autist is interested in something, he will understand it perfectly.)

Sorry for not being funny.
