There is also a theory under research in high-IQ areas like Silicon Valley that many autistic children are the result of two high-IQ parents, particularly if the father or grandfather was in engineering. An article about it appeared in Wired magazine maybe 20 years ago. While some autistic kids may be language-impaired or otherwise quite visibly handicapped, others are “savants”, whose very high IQ must contend with social awkwardness and behavioral tics in the personallity.
