Have a google on autism and savants.
Some would say that autism could be caused because of their special abilites. ie each section of the brain is mapped out to do a certain and specific task within constrains, but if one section overdevelopped giving extra abilities, then something else might suffer.

Hey, that's why geeks can't hold a conversation isn't it
