In my experience the neurotypical programmers tend to be less exceptional. Obviously not a rule but it's something I've observed.

- snek_case 5y agoWe're all speculating without hard data, but just for fun, another pet theory explaining something like this could be as simple as: neurotypical programmers tend to enjoy socializing more than neuroatypical programmers, so they generally spend less time on the computer, and are less proficient at programming, on average, simply because they have less practice. That doesn't preclude someone who is neurotypical from enjoying computers and programming and bucking the trend.
