I guess so but I would expect those with autism are much more likely.
My daughter underwent extensive academic and psychological testing. She struggled and well underperformed on about 80% of the testing but has a few off the charts capabilities involving geometric/spatial mathematics and had the highest score the clinician ever recorded on a repetitive hand-eye reaction speed test. I have also noticed her uncanny ability to deeply engage with others socially by mirroring their specific mannerisms and speech patterns to an exactness that I have never seen in others. (you don't realize that she is doing it with you until you see her completely mirror code-switch when interacting with others).
Overall my wife seems obsessed with trying to fix and/or cure my daughter but I honestly just accept her as she is and try to direct her towards her strengths and interests.
Don't forget, Elon Musk (autism level 1/asberger's) is arguably one of the most productive and successful people ever.
That is super interesting and cool, but I don't think we're talking about people like Musk or your daughter. We're talking about people damaged by vaccines who now are dependent on someone for life to take care of their needs. Some of these people are non-verbal, such as my best friend's brother, who was put in a home away from his siblings years ago. They are fighting to get him back as he is now in his 50's.
There are people who can't even feed themselves.
I don't know what your obviously high-functioning daughter has to do with the discussion, but it's nice that you accept her as-is. Would you even have to "accept" her, though, if she wasn't autistic? It would be a given.
Would you rather she hadn't been brain damaged? Or would you get a bumpersticker that says Autism is a Blessing?
Neither bad nor good, it is what it is. My daughter is autism level 1 and we have a mental connection we refer to as bluetooth.
Some autistic kids may be telepathic:

Some people without autism may be telepathic, too!
Thanks for sharing.

P.S. I don't think Musk is a genius as others do.
