Talk:Autistic savant

Can autistic savants be Asperger’s? Isn’t idiot savant old term for autistic savant? CarsFan3 didn't sign


 * The answer to the first question is 'Yes'. The answer to the second question is also 'Yes' but remember that psychology at the time of the term 'idiot savant' was primitive to the point of non existent. It was based on the assumption that if no intelligence was shown (no matter what) they were an idiot. Even deafness qualified at the time just to show how bad it was and wholly inaccurate. Autistics are not and never have been idiots based in IQ. It is not possible to have an Autism diagnosis with a low IQ, unless the IQ test is not adequate (some tests do fail the test of adequacy in the Autism sphere). TLPG 23:24, March 25, 2019 (UTC)

The list
Can I add some of my requested pages who are/were savants, or is the list good enough as it already is? Mozart999 (talk) Wolfie  20:18, September 9, 2020 (UTC)
 * It's already good enough for now. You should really start working on the articles instead of concentrating on finding options. TLPG 23:39, September 9, 2020 (UTC)

Don't worry. I'll start on them very soon! Mozart999 (talk) Wolfie  04:13, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
