A savant is a person who demonstrates exceptional abilities in a specific area, often alongside developmental conditions such as autism. These individuals may excel in fields like music, art, mathematics, or memory, showcasing skills that far exceed those of the average person. The term "savant syndrome" is used to describe this phenomenon, highlighting the unique combination of limitations and extraordinary talents. Savant abilities can manifest in various ways, such as the ability to play complex musical pieces after hearing them once or performing rapid calculations. Famous examples include Kim Peek, who inspired the character in the film Rain Man, and Stephen Wiltshire, known for his incredible architectural drawings from memory.
