What would happen to autistic prodigies if there was a cure?

Many of my favorite artists are autistic, and I was wondering if their talents would disappear if there was a cure for autism?
Having a "handicap" has sort of allowed them to excel in the unlikely. So would restoring their mental abilities take away from their God-given gifts.

I just thought I’d give people something to think about.

But if there was a treatment, would it most likely be a surgical procedure, or a medication? And is it preventable at birth?

Is it possible to have some autistic features without having an autistic spectrum disorder?

I’ve sometimes suspected that I have Asperger syndrome, so yesterday I took an online assessment that was developed by experts at Cambridge University. I scored a 29, which is above average, but I read that people with Asperger syndrome normally have a score of 35 or above. Is it possible to have autistic features without having Asperger syndrome or any of the other autistic spectrum disorders?
I have actually been diagnosed with ADHD.

What are the vaccines that are suspected to cause autism spectrum disorder in children?

I heard the dosage may be the problem or allergy to the vaccine but i don’t know which one. My son has mild end autism spectrum disorder. If he is sensitive to vaccines can he get a flu shot?
