Hur är en Savant?
Personer med autism är ofta duktiga inom ett visst område, men några få besitter förmågan att exempelvis minnas förundransvärt långa sifferserier eller enorma mängder fakta. Detta kallas savant-fenomenet. – Det finns inga egentliga internationellt accepterade definitioner.

What is savant syndrome?
This article has been cited byother articles in PMC. Abstract Savant syndrome is a rare, but extraordinary, condition in which persons with serious mental disabilities, including autistic disorder, have some ‘island of genius’ which stands in marked, incongruous contrast to overall handicap.
Is there a difference between savant syndrome and right and left brain?
In the case of right brain versus left brain capacity, some have referred to that substitution as a release ‘from the tyranny’ of the left, or dominant, hemisphere. But there is more to savant syndrome than genes, circuitry and the brain’s marvellous intricacy.
Which imaging studies are useful in the workup of savant syndrome?
However, studies of brain function, such as positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission CT (SPECT) or functional MRI, are much more informative regarding savant syndrome, and, indeed, autism itself, since these newer techniques provide information about the brain at work, rather than simply viewing brain architecture.
What is the rate of incidence of savant skills?
In a survey of an institutionalized population with a diagnosis of mental retardation, the incidence of savant skills was 1 : 2000 (0.06%; Hill 1977). A more recent study surveyed 583 facilities, and found a prevalence rate of 1.4 per 1000, or approximately double the Hill estimate (Saloviita et al. 2000).
