That they do. My son has my predisposition toward math and patterns. In fact, he did better than "the old man" did when he was being tested on patterns during his evaluation. And his memory is second to none in the family (which goes well with him being "Mr. Literal"...if he says it, it happened.)

Autistic people have amazing talents. And the more I look around, the more I wonder if there aren't more of them (us) in the world than we think.
