Autistic thinking in Neurotypicals?

Autistics have a strongly logical thinking process and a strong predisposition towards memorizing facts and putting them into categories. This is different from neurotypicals who have thinking process strongly driven by emotions and shaped largely by social consensus. 

 

Is it possible for a neurotypical to naturally possess the same thinking style without having other traits of autism (social awkwardness, repetitive behavior, sensory processing difficulties etc.)?

yes, those traits are not limited solely to those on the spectrum and vary only in degree from one human to the next
