It's interesting you bring up autism- one symptom/aspect/condition (?) commonly seen in many autistic children is that their brains grow to adult size any where from 8 to 10 years early ( “When Autistic Kids Grow Up” By Barbara Kantrowitz and Julie Scelfo, Newsweek; 27 November, 2006; Pg 46. I can't find it on the internet, but I know they have it in Magill at Haverford, possibly at BMC as well?)- I don't know much about human neuro-development, but I would imagine that growing to full size approximately a decade prematurely would cause disturbances in the connections made in the developing parts of the brain...
