Description: An autistic savant (historically described as idiot savant) is a person with both autism and Savant Syndrome.
Savant Syndrome describes a person having both a severe developmental or mental handicap and extraordinary mental abilities not found in most people.
Facts & colected data:
The Savant Syndrome skills involve striking feats of memory and often include arithmetic calculation and sometimes unusual abilities in art or music.
Most autistic savants have very extensive mental abilities, called splinter skills. (They can recall facts, numbers, license plates, maps, and extensive lists of sports and weather statistics after only being exposed to them once.)
Savant syndrome occurs when a person with below normal intelligence displays a special talent or ability in a specific area.
The first known description of a person displaying savant syndrome occurred in a German psychology journal in 1751.
The causes of savant syndrome were as of 2004 not known. Some researchers hypothesize that it is caused by a change in a gene or genes, and others believe that it is caused by some kind of damage to the left hemisphere of the brain with compensation for this injury occurring in the right hemisphere.
Savant Syndrome is usually recognized during childhood and is found in children with autism and other developmental difficulties.
Approximately 10 percent of all children with autism have savant syndrome.
