Of course, Einstein has since been proved not to be neurotypical. It was all over the news. The ... science news.
The problem is that we don't know if Einstein not being neuortypical is the cause of his genius, or the result of a lifetime of thinking in a certain way. Brains aren't static and can change over time, it's entirely possible he was born with a neurotypical brain that became aytpical over the course of his life.
It's possible, yes. But he may, in fact, have had superpowers unavailable to the rest of us.
