It's estimated that patients with autism and Asperger's have some mental retardation at varying levels. Both him and Tom seemed to be touched in their heads independent of autism, but they're not complete drooling idiots.
Well, the average IQ of people on the spectrum is considerably below average. But these are people whose symptoms are severe enough to bring them to attention and require a diagnosis. Interestingly, their relatives, however, have higher IQs on average. Probably you need multiple mutations to get autism, some of which are individually advantageous.
