Autistic savants are individuals with autism who exhibit extraordinary abilities in specific areas, such as music, art, mathematics, or memory. These exceptional skills often coexist with challenges in social interaction and communication, which are common in autism spectrum disorder. The term "savant" refers to someone who has profound knowledge or skill in a particular domain. The phenomenon of autistic savants is rare, with estimates suggesting that only a small percentage of people with autism possess these remarkable talents. Famous examples include Kim Peek, who had an incredible memory and could recall vast amounts of information, and Stephen Wiltshire, an artist known for his detailed cityscapes created from memory.
