Possibility of an Illiterate Programer?

/prog/, is it possible for a person to know how to code and program computers before knowing how to read and write in English (or any other natural language)? Is there an example of, maybe, a savant with extraordinary talents in the field, but is, otherwise, social inept?

I'd make a joke about the /prog/ snake and a four years' old's throat, but you'd all just tell me to get back to /b/.

But anyway, a child that can understand SICP can at least understand English, failing the requirements set up in >>1
