If the thinking was truly "slower", i.e. have less throughput, it would result in fewer insights overall, i.e. lower intelligence. This doesn't seem to be the case since the author describes equal success of these "slow thinkers" to neurotypical ways of thinking.
The problem therefore seems to be more accurately described as having the same insights as others, but they arrive later, i.e. "delayed" insights.
Delayed processing could be an effect of delayed context switching, i.e. monotropism [0]. Monotropism can be an indicator of mild autism.
