What is the evolutionary advantage of autism?

It's an evolutionary spandrel, like high intelligence. It will eventually die off because it's not needed.

It would be way more resource intensive to have organisms with human level cognition whose brains never have problems like autism.
The benefit is like paying $5 for something that's 98% what you want vs. paying $5,000,000,000,000 for the extra last 2 percentage points of 100%.

Everything does. It's just usually the advantage of perfection costing much more than sub-perfection rather than the kinds of advantages normalfags think of where the faulty trait is somehow a helpful trait.

It has the advantage of less than perfection being way easier to produce and maintain. It wouldn't be worth it to have a species just like us that has extra mechanisms in place to make sure down syndrome never happens.

You're too retarded to understand what a cost is. He already covered your downy example before you replied.

I doubt that "autism" is a disease. People are different, some like being in company more than others.

Having problems IS a benefit. It's the benefit of not spending extra on a perfect system without problems.
An imperfect system can outperform a perfect system simply by requiring a lot less to work.

I understand that a perfect system would be outweighed by cost but people like OP aren't talking about that they think everything that hasn't 'evolved out' must offer real world tangible benefit or it wouldn't exist

You can say that on a species level, the advantage is that the cost for 98% accuracy is lower, but on the individual level it's wrong to say it provides an advantage.

I'm goin to say there is a evolutionary benefit.
In a social term.
People with autism need special care. It's a way of never leaving the nest. That way you don't have to take care of yourself and live in the care of others.
