It’s almost like you’re describing a disability affecting someone and not some sort of super power… too real.

Even I, who is relatively less affected by it can realize it's a disability, even if things well align for me, I feel it just like a personality type.

One can harness autism as a de-facto super power, but channeling your special interests to more usefult things might not be available for everyone, and could be limited in some way of form. Autistic people can be somewhat better at pattern recognition, which could be useful at times.
