I don't think that's quite the right analogy. The way I explain it to people regarding my son is that you have the brain, the brain's modules are all there, but all the interconnecting stuff that helps the different parts of the brain work together, self-regulate, etc., are all much weaker than in a typical brain. Thus you get people who are very impulsive, or are great problem solvers but have trouble with language (which requires the cooperation of many different parts of the brain), or much prefer visual inputs, etc. Even that is only an approximation of what must be going on, but certainly most of the gear works; it just doesn't work together concurrently as it should.
