A recent study that was performed has found that the genes linked with autism are also linked to the genes that lead to higher intelligence. So for someone who has the genes that are linked to lead to a greater risk of autism are also likely to develop a high intelligence level. They say it is unclear why autism and intelligence is related. Even though some of the people with autism have an intellectual disability, others with the disorder have average or even above average non-verbal intelligence. The group of researchers who had been working on this particular project did a study and found that even the people that have never been diagnosed with autism, even if they just carried traits that are associated with this disorder, they tended to score a little higher than others on cognitive tests.
