OTOH, a world full of people with autism might never be able to come together and build large group projects. Autism might work well for creating in the computer+Internet age (but I have doubts that non-autism traits are totally unnecessary), but much less likely to work in lower-tech society.

This was a problem for the Autreat conference. It was made by autistics for autistics. The coordination required to create it was a big problem. I wonder if things would get better if they were the norm. I'm not sure.

I don't know. I for one love working with people as long as the focus stays on the goal and not on interpersonal stuff.
