Hyper-systemizing is an extreme state in the empathizing–systemizing theory that classifies people based on their skills in empathizing with others versus systemizing facts about the external world.[4] Also, the attention to detail shown by many savants may be a consequence of enhanced perception or sensory hypersensitivity in individuals with autism.[4][5] It has also been suggested that savants operate by directly accessing low-level, less-processed information that exists in all human brains but is normally unavailable to conscious awareness.[6]

    Le Epidemiology

    One in ten people with autism have savant skills.[1]
    50% of savants have autism; the other 50% often have psychological disorders or mental illnesses.[1]
    Prodigious savants have very significant disorder and disability. Examples include Richard Wawro, Henriett Seth F., and Jonathan Lerman.
    A 2009 British study of 137 parents of autistic children found that 28% believed their offspring met the criteria for a savant skill, defined as a skill or power "at a level that would be unusual even for normal people".[7]
