Interesting article. I didn't realize the savant cliche' from Rainman was still being propagated all over the place so irrelevantly. Great movie, and too influential on the public lack of curiosity it seems.
I am surprised to see the following error in the article from NIH:
>"Tammet's autobiography clearly demonstrates why Asperger's syndrome is such an evasive concept."
That should be, of course, "elusive" rather than "evasive."
