There is almost none.

Some would develop "savant" characteristics making them especially good at solving some specific kind of problems, like memorizing a city with a 15 min helicopter flight or know all Mozart's works by memory, but that's like 1 of every 20.

And they also suck in other "intelligence" departments.

Study from Cambridge University:

New research which tested nearly 500,000 people for autism traits and compared it to their jobs found those in involved in STEM professions (science, technology, engineering or mathematics) have more autistic traits.

The University of Cambridge has developed a way of measuring these, using a questionnaire called the Autism Spectrum Quotient, or AQ which comprises 50 questions, each one representing one autistic trait.
They found that people working in a STEM-related job had an average AQ score of 21.9 compared to a score of 18.9 for individuals working in non-STEM jobs. Previously Cambridge University has suggested that Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were both autistic.

The study also backed up previous findings showing that men are more likely to be higher on the autism spectrum than women.
Professor Simon Baron-Cohen at the Autism Research Centre at the University of Cambridge said:
“Previous studies have found the number of autistic traits a person has is influenced by both genetic factors and prenatal testosterone levels.

“These may shed light on why we find males in the population on average have slightly more autistic traits than females do, and why fathers and grandfathers of children with autism are over-represented in STEM fields.”

Your "picture" shows UK and Sweden with higher IQ than USA despite they are also non-ethnically and culturally homogeneous, and USA ranks over and Australia and equals Denmark, which are countries that are more homogenous.

So, unless you show me your regression to establish correlation among your variables and present me the r value, I'll have to assume that you just picked the 6 nations with highest autism rates in the world atlas page (despite their differences in establishing diagnosis) without giving us a countries IQ rankings.

And no nigga, I'm not going to open my R to do that shit for you.

I think you're confused, I didn't make or post that list.

Oh, sorry, but it is just an observation of a very short list. But I'll go on a guess and say that other Asian homogeneous societies like Singapur or Taiwan will be also high in the IQ list.

Still, we would need another kind of data to establish some causality between homogeneous societies and IQ.

I'll say that they have better educations systems
