Indeed, this fits with the hypothesis. Neurotypicals prefer a statistical, Shannon Entropy like approach, which can handle random surprises. Autistic people, by overreacting to surprising inputs, may avoid surprise, and end up with the deterministic information processing style (Kolmogorov Complexity). However, the predictive processing failure doesn't explain the savant skills or large rote memory, or detail orientation based on grids of units.
