I have wondered if this is something like incomputableity with regards to
a Turing machine. Might the normal brain be like a Turing machine and the
autistic brain be something like a brain not limited in the same way? Given
that some people can, for instance, identify large primes in near constant
time, I'd say this is a distinct possibility.
At risk of sounding politically incorrect; does anyone known of an autistic
person who might be interested in learning programming?
