There’s a movie called The Specials that basically takes that idea and runs with it.  It’s got a few characters that I read as autistic, too.  (And they have to endure constant jokes about “What do you have to do to become a Special?  Go to special school.” and the like.)  It meant a lot to me when I first got it because the ones I read as autistic (Alien Orphan, U. S. Bill, and possibly Mr. Smart) were just part of the team (and Alien Orphan even had a really obnoxious woman “taking care of him” who epitomized everything horrible about super-chirpy condescending staff people… and she seemed oblivious to her effect on him even when he started throwing things at her, all of which is quite realistic).
