Question

Why are autistic kids so good at art, music and mathematics?

Answer 1

Mine aren't. That's a stereotype, kind of like asking why all Asians are good at math, or all Hispanics are good at menial labor. It's false and unfair to make assumptions about the abilities of others, regardless of nationality or ability. Those stereotypes are built in misinformation and passed on generation to generation, without people educating themselves.
