According to Dr. Hervey Milton Cleckley, superficial charm and average to above average intelligence are two of the psychopath's main features.

Examples of known psychopaths are:

Ted Bundy: Bachelors degree in Psychology and attended Law school.

John Wayne Gacy: High school drop out.

Ferdidnand Waldo Demara Jr. - High school drop out.

Since psychopaths are so charming and manipulative, language shortcomings are not readily apparent. (Bartols page 191)

Average to above average is a wide range and does not say that psychopaths are particularly smart. They typically are in the abnormal extraversion personality type (=choleric=undercontrollers) and this personailty type, which has been confirmed by over 20 studies, tends to have the lowest IQ.

Is it true that autistic people are banned from casinos in america?

It depends on the autistic person and whether they are accused of card-counting or similar. Many Autistic people are extremely intelligent in math. Not all, but most of them are. And casinos generally do not want customers to get rich so quickly so that would give them a reason to ban autistic people from casinos. Maybe it's true, maybe not, but it seems very likely.
