Being hyper-abled and disabled are not mutually exclusive. That's why there are terms for people who exist at both ends of the ability/disability spectrum *at the same time*. "Twice exceptional", "idiot savant", "splinter skills", "spiky skill profile"... These are a few of the terms invented specifically to describe such a pattern. Autistic people, in particular, are likely to fit this pattern.

Found out I qualify as a savant.
Another reason I never say my Autism is anything other that a superpower.
Note: Autism is a spectrum. I simply refuse to live in a closet and hide a huge part of who I am.
Also I want my Autistic child to be proud of who they are.
There are people that struggle and have far more obstacles than myself. Autism is a spectrum. I stand for everyone, and everyone with autism.
