	Autistic savant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An autistic savant (more commonly known as an idiot savant) is a person who expresses extraordinary mental abilities, often in the fields of numerical calculation (not to be confused with mathematics) (see also mental calculator), but also sometimes in art or music.
		When one has an extraordinary single skill in an otherwise unexceptional intellect, he or she may simply be described as a savant, without qualifier, although savant is also frequently used figuratively to mean a person of learning, especially one of great knowledge in a particular subject, without remarking on the person's overall state of intellect.
		Autistic savantism is usually recognised during childhood and is often but not always found in autistic children.

	Autism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Autistic children appear to lack "theory of mind", the ability to see things from another person's perspective, a behavior cited as exclusive to human beings above the age of five and, possibly, other higher primates such as adult gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos.
		Some autistics remain mute throughout their lives while being fully literate and able to communicate in other ways—images, sign language, and typing are far more natural to them.
		Autistic culture is much akin to deaf culture, which says that autism is a unique way of being and not a disorder to be cured, i.e., "anti-cure".

	Autistic Pride Day - AspiesForFreedom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It is a celebration of the neurodiversity of Autistic spectrum individuals, to promote the concept that those identified as autistic are not suffering from a pathological disease any more than those with dark skin are suffering from a form of skin disease.
		Autistic pride advocates believe the notion of racial purity, in terms of the human race as a whole, permeates medical science, which seems to reflect a belief that every human brain should be identical.
		Advocates of autistic pride claim the notion that there is an ideal, and thus desirable, structure to the human brain leads many practitioners of psychiatry to assume that any deviation requires a "cure" to achieve conformity to the neurotypical norm.

	Autism - Center for Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Autism-like syndrome and Autistic related Disorders ...
		Research has suggested that although autistic children are attached to their parents, their expression of this attachment is unusual and difficult to "read." To parents, it may seem as if their child is not attached at all.
		In particular, autistic language abilities tend to be highly literal; neurotypicals often inappropriately attribute hidden "meaning" to what autistics say or expect the autistic to sense such unstated meaning in their own words.
		As autistic people grow up, the accumulation of mistreatment, constant rejection from neurotypicals assuming that differences are something to "cure," and constantly being misunderstood by neurotypicals refusing to help bridge the neurological gap logically causes them to become anxious or depressed.
