The less social your brain is the better capacity you have for intelligence. take case example my bf. he has aspergers, i have high functioning autism(hfa for short). my symptoms are way worse. im way worse at eye contact than he is, im much more aloof and socially distant. my sensory issues are more severe than his. people with hfa have better visuo spacial skills than aspergers.
i beat him in chess all the time. i beat him while im drunk 3 times in a row, while im sleep deprived. he usually does 2-3 takebacks in every chess game we do and i dont do a single one unless i did an obvious misclick.
he practiced go for a week or so watched a bunch of vids. he lost to me who have not played go in months. we both learned go at the same time and i dominated him and from the beginning and there was always a gap between us.
then we both learned shogi, he watched a bunch of vids and played against a bot a lot. the first 2 games i struggle because im just learning what the rules are and where the pieces go. then i win 3 times in a row. now i consistently beat him at shogi too and he is horrified.
