My first idea is of a zombie apocalypse where only aspies are immune due to different brain lay outs. Secondly, a book that is set in a utopian society where normality and perfection are prized above all, a cure for autism is made but some aspies dont want to be cured, you can decide what happens next.

Autism in a fantasy setting. Autism isn't referred to as Autism, instead they are viewed as magic children or something.

I love the idea about the Utopian society and it would be a pleasure to read.
I have no interest in zombies but I would try to read it anyway.

Have you read the book "Speed of Dark" by Elizabeth Moon?It's a science fiction book with an autistic hero.
It is sort of similar to the second idea . It's about a successful man named Lou that has highly functioning autism.
He is expected by his work to undergo an experimental treatment that may cure autism and he does not want to.
