What is autistic savant?!


Question: What is autistic savant?
Answers:

An autistic savant is a person who has both autism and savant syndrome. Autism causes social and communication difficulties, delayed speech, obsessive interests or fixation, a need for routine, repetitive behavior, and abnormal sensory processing. Savant syndrome is when someone has exceptional natural abilities in a specific area, and often a prodigious memory. About half the people with savant syndrome have autism, and about 10% of people with autism are savants.
