The BBC talks about scientists and autism:

They are skilled at analysing systems - whether it be a vehicle, or a maths equation - to figure out how they work.

But they also tend to be less interested in the social side of life, and can exhibit behaviour such as an obsession with detail - classic traits associated with autism.

Why are they even related? Why can't someone be skilled at both detailed analysis and social interaction?
