The brain isn't affected by Autism. Autism is an effect of how the brain forms in womb, after birth, and growing up through childhood until the brain is fully formed.
While the causes are uncertain (though there are many theories), some people end up with parts of their brain overdeveloped, and other parts underdeveloped. The area's and degree's of development are different in each person with Autism, but generally, it's usually the right temporal lobe and/or the occipital lobe that overdevelop and usually the frontal lobe and left temporal lobe that underdeveloped.
The right temporal lobe is for comprehending spacial arrangements, mathematics, logic, etc. The left temporal lobe is mainly used for communication. The occipital lobe controls your ability to see as well as imagine and also is the seat of the occipital cortex which is essentially the processor for the brain and nervous system. The frontal lobe is used for planning, seeing ahead, pattern recognition, etc.
