Yes some are bordering on genius, but the tend to not be that severe the medical term is Autistic Savant. Jordan so far doesn't have any special talents that we know of, apart from spinning things and opening locks. He has very little speech, but is getting better at communicating in other ways. |

My partner works with autistic adults, and as you said some are bordering on genius, there's ony lad there that when he meets you he will ask your date of birth, you might not see him again for months but he will remember your birth date, and theres another guy that is car mad, he knows everyones numer plate and what the car is. |
