Was she trying to make you feel better about being autistic?
Jokes aside, while I don't think it's a superpower (it's basically a failure of sensory integration alongside lack of social learning, and severe autism is basically non-functional), it may be possible that with corrective therapy, the increased emphasis on online communication, and the increase in online dating, high-functioning autism might not be as heavily selected against evolutionarily in the modern day.

No. There are a lot of Autistic people who can't live independently, hold down a job, or ever complete a simple task. The media has done the world a disservice by conflating Autism with Savant Syndrome.
Sociologist, are hired by think tanks to make stuff up. Nothing they say is trust worthy. They all think their mission on Earth is to trick people into believing stupid things, like "We should all live in pods." or "Autism may the next stage of human evolution, it may even be a superpower!". Some people also believe that they are the incestuous decedents of Adam and Eve or that the Earth is only 5,000 years old. It doesn't mean their lying if the just dead wrong. Your question should have been, "Are Sociologists a reliable authority?" And the answer is also "No". Sociologists exist to change society into what they should think it is by lying and manipulating trends. If you don't believe me, then find out for your self: <https://vid.puffyan.us/playlist?list=PLbMVogVj5nJR94vAUYzC_V6pZhMwlTnSa>.

In the same way nuclear energy is power. It can be used for good or ill. And you don't wanna get any on you.

It depends on environment like anything else. An autist with money + environment that pushes him towards combining his interests with some form of success will do well.

Some autists like My little pony, others post stupid questions on Internet forums, but no, none are interested in anything useful.

I don't think trooning out, wearing adult diapers and speedrunning can be classified as "superpowers".

Yes, OP, autism is a superpower and your therapist is holding you back. Only by destroying her, will you achieve your final form.

Shitposty answer:
No you're still a retard.
Mostly Serious Answer:
No. it's more like a double edged sword. the shit will hinder you a ton. More often than not, you'll have speech problems, social problems, sometimes physical problems, and that's at least if you're midfunctioning autistic or better. If you're low functioning for the most part you're fucked. You'll need a tard wrangler and the best job you could get is moving boxes in a warehouse.
However you can use some of the those traits towards something positive, like autists being obsessed and dedicated towards something can be used to an advantage. It's learning to overcome the negatives and managing the positives towards something productive that can actually make you a success.
That's what people mean when they say it's a "superpower", when its used towards an advantage you can do some good shit
Most troons that say this mostly have an ego in the way that prevents them from doing anything good

No, the negative symptoms of autism are a consequence of inflammatory factors that induce sickness behaviors and impair executive function. Antioxidant/anti-inflammatory substances such as N-acetylcysteine, sulforaphane, omega-3s, b-vitamin complexes, etc are already known to have a significant positive effect on symptoms of autism as well as other OCD-adjacent disorders like tourettes and escoriation disorder (that's skin/hair picking for the plebs). Society is full of the mentally retarded and socially timid however, so this is somehow considered emerging science.
That's almost certainly the reason for the alleged rise in autism in the modern day, because it isn't an independent disorder but rather a manifestation of cognitive overwork, social isolation, and other factors that are positively associated with elevated adrenal function. Long term cold stress will induce depression and autism-like symptoms in anyone. The only predisposition is a tendency towards sensory processing. So basically most people who have "autism" don't have autism, they're just neurotic and think more than their body can handle; sensory processing isn't free, everything has a price. The only question is if you have the appropriate resources to pay it.
As such it's difficult to even answer the original question, because autism is not an actual thing, it's simply a reflection of ordinary neurological mechanics and immune function.

Yes, they have the power to annoy people, break up marriages, and cause one to drink or do drugs heavily, having to deal with them.

If autism is a superpower then retardation makes you a god amongst tards.
