Savant Syndrome

Savant syndrome is a condition in which persons with ASD or other developmental disorders exhibit impressive abilities. These are called splinter skills or savant abilities, which are considered remarkable in contrast to the typical characteristics of autism. These skills are often observed in areas such as memory, music, mathematical calculation, sensory sensitivity and athletic performance among others. 

These often-prodigious gifts or talents in most autistic savants are shown in obsessive and repetitive behaviours. However, these skills may appear to have little functional application or meaning.
