Online essays don't necessarily point either way -- my text messages often span over 3 messages (diagnosed nearly 5 years ago, had plenty of time to deal with the symptoms), and I've read about a high-functioning autistic guy who's one of the best speechwriters in America (Send in the Idiots, a short book if anyone is interested). Check out some of the posts over at wrongplanet some time if you don't believe me; sitting behind a screen makes it a lot easier to communicate, as one can think about what they want to say and take their time with it. Also, there's nothing like body language to compound the difficulty of communicating.

But here is a question for creationists: Why do we only have one heart? It's a SPoF in the design of us, and I don't deem that very intelligent, to be blunt.

I'm a creationist. Not a young-Earther and I believe evolution to explain the mechanics of how life came to be. Normally I stay out of these sorts of things because this will either be downmodded or cause a tirade of angry replies. That being said, just because you feel that a single heart is a design flaw doesn't make you right. There's a verse somewhere in the bible that comes to mind -- can the clay turn to the potter and ask 'what are you doing?' You're implying that you know better than God
Do I think evolution should be taught in schools? Of course. Religion has no place in a laboratory, just as science has no place in a church. Science is about asking how the world and the universe ticks, not wondering about the existence of God. The two don't have to be in opposition to one another.
