Does being on the spectrum make one a better programmer?

Yeah you are better with patterns.
No you are too obsessed with little niggles and can never finish

"Make" no
"Contribute to" yes.
You don't get magic programming powers just by being autistic, and not all autists have the necessary capability to even begin coding. However, if you've got the right amount of autism, with the right mind for it, autism just makes it so you're more focused and devoted to programming.

Autism doesn't make a good programmer, it merely adds potential.

i work with a medically diagnosed autist, and no, he's terrible at everything.

He is an encyclopedia of computer knowledge, but can't stay in his chair for more than 5 minutes.
