Think about this. Autists are people whose brain devotes less power than average to the decoding of emotions and therefore has more spare power for other things.
This appears clearly in Rain Man (1988). The character played by Dustin Hoffman is unable to process emotions and, as a result, is a so called "savant". He can count hundreds of matches on the floor in a single glance and perform other extreme feats of mental power.
Of course, the Rain Man situation is impractical. Someone like the character played by Dustin Hoffman cannot possibly function.
But what about people "on the spectrum", the spergs, the "high functioning autists"?
These people represent the future of humanity. They are the people who will solve new challenges because they have the mental resources to do so.
Of course, this requires a culture that is friendly to them, i.e. something that is exactly the opposite of what we have today. Our current culture values Chad/Stacy behavior, i.e. the basic mate selection process common to all mammals. In effect, our culture values the past (our most animal instincts) over the future.
As a result, our current culture will pass because it will self destruct. It is too much in opposition to the general thrust of human evolution.
What will replace it is up to us.

, although I don't know how that will be played out or if they will allow that
