'People with autism - minds run 42% faster - a reason they withdraw'

I did some internet searches and found this article and the one in the previous post - over the last couple of days.
It was previously thought that autistic spectrum people are "a bit slow" - but this article indicates that it is the opposite (inside) the mind. It is the external inability to convey (social-verbal communication) and often a lack of expression - which caused this misperception.
Again, this reflects that often-withdrawn thinkers like Isaac Newton, Einstein, Mark Twain, Thomas Jefferson, Nicola Tesla, and Mozart - exhibited strong autistic spectrum behavior.
