- Synopsis
- The author describes a series of studies which she and her colleagues have conducted in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of autistic savant syndrome. Her subjects include children and adults with autism who have remarkable abilities in music, art, mathematics, foreign languages, and calendar calculation. Hermelin suggests that people with autism perceive detail before recognizing an integrated whole. This is a very readable book with a strong scholarly foundation.
