To answer the original question, no, absolutely not. &guy's people don't enjoy any inherent advantages over "normal" people. Some are smart and have the ability to focus intently on highly specific tasks, but most of them have measurably poorer social skills and ability to multi-task opposite
folk of equal intelligence who aren't on the autistic spectrum.
That represents a general step BACK in adapting to modern society, which is the antithesis of evolution. Evolution is all about better acclimating to your environment over time. Some morons shit on Darwinism -- e.g., "how come if humans evolved from monkeys, we don't see monkeys turning in to men today?" -- but that's because they are morons

For one, chimps and humans shared a common ancestor; we didn't evolve from today's monkeys into men.
Somewhere along the way, there were many divergent branches on that common ancestral tree and, given environmental circumstances, some species remained primitive because, as tree-dwellers, they had no impetus to change; their basic needs were met. Food, water, reasonable protection from predators...they had a pretty good thing going with the way they lived.
Meanwhile, our offshoots of that common ancestor eventually were based on the ground. This made them more vulnerable to all sorts of predatory species so, over the course of many, many millennia, they took baby steps in learning to fashion tools, which in turn gradually lead to the development of opposable thumbs to better use those tools.
