It’s an oldie from 2015, but I still think about it whenever people talk about being talented at something.

I’m autistic, I think its likely true for most people (including autistic people) that they could feasibly learn to become very good at one specific thing given sufficient practice, regardless of their starting point. BUT:
Its not capability in the strictest sense that is the privilege. Its money, time, and having intrinsic pleasure from the activity.
Someone who hates playing the piano could still 100% reach the same abilities of someone who loves playing the piano. They just don’t because they don’t get any intrinsic enjoyment out of it. So the person who is wired to get intrinsic joy out of the activity also gains the extrinsic benefits of eventually becoming very good at piano and the benefits that come with that.
Not everyone gets intrinsic joy from activities that have extrinsic rewards once you get very good at them. I really enjoy video games and debate, and I’d say I’m very good at both. But almost no one gives a fuck and my extrinsic reward for being good at those things is basically nothing.
IDK about other neurological frameworks however.
