In the section I read today, it focused on two things: When an autistic offspring was likely and the unfortunate oblivion of people who are diagnosed with autism. It started off with a man boarding a cruise ship with computer programmers, and interviewing them about their personal life. People who are more creative and intellectual most likely have autistic genes, but too much of it causes borderline autism. His discovery was that most engineers on the ship had autistic children. Later it was found that technicians and engineers do have the autism trait in them, that's what makes them more capable of remembering details, and creating new designs..
