High functioning autism might in part be caused by an “overclocking” of the brain.
My evidence:
(1) Autistic children have on average larger brains than neurotypical children do.
(2) High IQ parents are more likely than average to have autistic children.
(3) An extremely disproportionate number of mathematical geniuses have been autistic.
(4) Some children learn to read before they are 2.5 years old. From what I know all of these early readers turn out to be autistic.
