Actually, the unique wiring of his brain may be what allows him to come up with interesting solutions to mundane problems, his brain just took it one step too far and it became a disability. There have been many instances where "fixing" a psychiatric disorder deprived the person of their exceptional talent as well. This is a serious problem when treating artists, musicians, writers, etc... that have mental illness. You have to balance solving the issue with not impacting their ability to create. It can be exceptionally difficult, sometimes impossible.
Most of the brilliant people I've met are noticeably autistic to some degree, and I wouldn't suggest to change that for anything.  You're right, it's that kind of wiring that makes them so smart and their thinking so creative.  Maybe a cure is the wrong word, but perhaps a way to manage the more extreme and troubling aspects of it to make their lives more comfortable without hindering their thinking process.
