People with Autism can be geniuses who are limited primarily by an inability or lack or desire to communicate.
I didn't mean to allude that autistic people are anything but, they aren't the "same" as their parents, thus the reason for the label, and if their parents have an IQ of 170, but their autistic child has an IQ of 150 (higher then the average), he's still highly intelligent, but something has changed. Please don't turn this simple conversation into something PC, I have nothing against autistic kids and even have one in our "family", so please, it's really just an illustration, not intending to put down anybody.
