Just add to the list of "what if there was no asperger's"
I will start with:

"Gene Roddenberry's net worth would never have been in the hundreds of millions."

*this is meant to have both truth and entertainment value.

Nikola Tesla would have never invented AC current.

Albert Einstein would have never came up with E=mc^2

No new animal equipment would be designed by Temple Grandin

Microsoft wouldn't exist

I'm not convinced Einstain was aspy. He seems to have been really charismatic.

There would be no Blues Brothers and therefore a surplus of 1970s Dodge Police cars.

I'm pretty sure I've met smart people who weren't aspie. We don't have the monopoly on being smart.

I don't think Cat is pointing to 'smart' but to the trait of focusing deep and long, possibly alone, on a task. Da Vinci surely showed great focus over long periods in all that he put on paper.
