True, but that's about it.

Just because he can ... ( 3 weeks ago by lfil28)

Just because he can memorize long lists and make calculations doesn't mean he will do something like Einstein. It just means he will memorize long lists and make calculations that normal people can't. But we don't need to. We have calculators and paper to write things down. It is other aspects that lead to scientific genus. However, that is why he is the center of study in neural psychology rather than mathematics and science. His ability is profound and deserves attention.

they are very rare, most savants are autists and autism seems to be influenced by testosteron, a male hormon.

he spoke German fluently before, icelandic is more similar to German than English is, especially in (confusing&difficult)grammar.

It's really funny isn't it??
People call autistic people retarded but autistic people have a higher IQ than most non autistics. Autism is getting more and more common. So could the world be evolving more advanced?? I'd say yes because autistic people have out standing IQS Autism could be the new race. With autistic people
around we could one day be able to travel at the speed of light. These guys have something very special.

Wow your ego is high.

It's true that ... ( 2 days ago by dagron1234)

It's true that autistic people are very gifted but they're not going evolve us. Autistic people are usually very good at one, two, three etc. things. A normal person on the otherhand is moderatley good at everything they do. A normal person does many more things but does not specialize on one specific activity. Im not trying to take anything away from autistic people because you're right, they are truly gifted. Maybe one day the human brain will fully unlock and we'll all be super smart.
