No, being slightly autistic doesn't make you more intelligent, but it makes you use that intelligence differently. If you consider the dichotomy between "fast" and "slow" thinking, my hypothesis is that mild autism causes you to think slowly more often. This can be both useful and harmful, but in many modern professions it's advantageous.
