As someone with a son on the spectrum.
Every kid on the spectrum is special, this isn't taking away from any of them.
People are born somewhere on this range, and luck/god determines where they land, but some parents have a narrow window to guide their kids into the Brilliance Zone through early intervention, diet, and environment.
That's the sweet spot where the likes of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Vitalik live.
Autistic enough that the brain is wired differently, but not so autistic that you can't function socially and actually deliver on that brilliance.
