Autists are reported to filter less, but that isn't really so, they can afford to process more datastreams at once, because the stronger filtering means less cognitive effort per datastream. The stronger filtering mean that autists can see and hear more at once without exceeding the capacity.
Autists process things more deeply. This makes them better at dealing large amounts of data and less likely to stick to false positives. This is the only real problem - dealing with normies who see meaning where there is none and expect it to be understood. Any time normues are actually tested on their extra abilities, such as the mystical ability to read when somebody lies to them, they turn out to be bullshit and normies perform no better than chance.
Or in language, autists may miss the more superficial meanings in favor of deeper ones:
Connotations - the most shallow meaning of the word; the word is used at funerals, so it has to do with funerals.
Metaphor - a word is replaced with another that refers to something with a superficially similar characteristic; a concrete word is used to avoid using an abstract one.
The literal meaning - counterintuitively requires deeper processing to extract the exact specific meaning rather than the above.
An analogy goes further and uses the literal meaning to illustrate a principle.
