Here Comes the New Terminator (with a diagnosis)

The new Terminator has been “professionally diagnosed with mild autism”? From Sci Fi Wire:
Personality-wise, Cameron still has a ways to go, recently having been professionally diagnosed with mild autism. But like all Terminators to come before her, she’s a sponge for information. She’s been reading the Bible, watching TV and observing the kids around her to get a grasp on all the latest hipster lingo. It doesn’t always come out quite as it should, but she’s learning from her mistakes.
Is there the suggestion here that something being autistic leaves one a bit lacking in the personality department?
h/t to Jen!
