sort of makes you wonder what the basis of Temple Grandin's argument is that autism genes are responsible for all of these inventions and skills with computer's and how society would be doomed without these genes. I wonder which of these is responsible for all of those according to Grandin.

Well, Alan, hopefully someday science will advance to the point where we will know which one(s)
