Why are children with autism clever?

There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that children with autism are generally more clever than neurotypical children. In fact, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental disorder that can affect a person's social skills, communication abilities, and behavior.

While some individuals with ASD may show exceptional abilities in certain areas, it is important to remember that individuals with ASD are just as diverse as the general population and their capabilities can vary widely.
