Nothing beyond having really good rote memory and being good with maths and coding and stuff. If by your question, you mean I can do such things as calculate really large numbers in my head so easily or recite the first 1000 decimal digits of the Pi number off by heart, forwards and then backwards, then obviously no. The majority of people on the autism spectrum, contrary to popular belief, aren't anything like Rain Man. These people, referred to as savants, are rather really, really rare. I think you can even count them with your hands.
Have you been diagnosed with autism or such, despite it's broad definitions, or is it something you have known about for some time?
