It's certainly possible; I'm inclined to think, though, that what the author had in mind was in some ways the opposite, to suggest that having a brain that works differently from other people's (whether you're dyslexic, unusually intelligent, or both, although as you say the autism spectrum doesn't appear yet) doesn't and shouldn't disqualify you from ordinary life. It's a fascinating book; the more I think about it, the more it seems intended for adults, I have a feeling that reading it at 10 or 11 (as I first did) probably means missing a lot of the subtleties involved. Very different from Forest, but you can see why the author might have liked her work.
