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 speak English and understand that strings vibrating in the 10th dimension are what create sub atomic particles that make up our universe.

You on the other hand, have no idea what that means.
