“Our study confirms our hypothesis that people with autism have higher perceptual capacity compared to the typical population. This can only be seen once the task becomes more demanding, with more information to process. In the more challenging task conditions, people with autism are able to perceive significantly more information than the typical adult.”

“The finding may help explain why people with autism spectrum disorders, such as Asperger’s syndrome, may excel in some careers … which can require intense concentration and the ability to process a great deal of information …

Our study clearly shows that people with autism can do better than typical adults in tasks involving rapid presentations of a lot of information.”

Aspies, depending upon the severity, are at a disadvantage in some ways, but you can learn empathy if you work at it.
