Duality of intelligence or Autism

What is the duality of the advantage of Intelligence? The disadvantages of Autism?

What is the duality of intelligence? Perception of intelligence?

I first discovered Autism in grade school (35 years ago) and read about a family's journey to go into their boy’s autistic world and bring him out to their world. The child was so brilliant in his own world.

I remember thinking that if a baby was born to the world with so much intelligence or so much sensory ability how would he handle the world? What if somehow 2 year old sensed the pulse of the world at such an age? I thought to myself, how could he not want to live in our world. At least not without the help from someone who could bring him out safely.

25 years later autism hit the mainstream and they were all seen as retarded.

Finally an article that expresses their true gift:
The advantages of autism

According to this, autism is caused by a hyperactive brain that makes everyday sensory experiences overwhelming.

Their "enhanced perceptual function model" suggests autistic brains are wired differently, but not necessarily because they are damaged

Just a quick article on increasing our computers 1000 fold


Graphene is Next
The Substance Found in Pencils will Speed Up our Computers One Thousand Fold


Graphene is a hexagonal grid of carbon, much like a roll of chicken wire. Remove one random atom from the pattern every so often, and graphene can exhibit magnetic behavior without needing the presence of magnetic metals. Adding hydrogen into the mix creates graphene’s non-conductive cousin, graphane. Taking precisely defined patterns of atoms out of the sheet can create well-defined circuits, creating wires that are almost superconducting.
