Redirect to:

Savant syndrome

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a subtopic: This is a redirect to a subtopic of the redirect's title.
- If the redirect topic is detailed enough to sustain its own article, then use {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}} in addition. If notability of the subject is supportable, then by all means be bold and convert this redirect into an article about the topic.

With possibilities: This is a redirect from a title that potentially could be expanded into a new article or other type of associated page such as a new template. The topic described by this title may be more detailed than is currently provided on the target page or in a section of that page.
- When the target page becomes too large, or for any reason a new page would be an improvement, this redirect may be replaced with an article, template or other project page that is carved out of the target page. See also {{R to section}} and use together with this rcat when appropriate.
- If the topic of the redirect is not susceptible to expansion, then use other rcats such as {{R to section}} or {{R to list entry}} when appropriate.
- Since a new page may be created, links to this redirect should not be replaced with a direct link to the target page. To make redirects to this page, use {{R avoided double redirect}}.
- {{R printworthy}} should be used together with this template when applied to a redirect in mainspace.
- When used on a template redirect, it will automatically populate Category:Template redirects with possibilities.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

+#REDIRECT [[Savant syndrome]]
-An '''autistic savant''' (formerly called '''Harry Potter''') 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]]), [[art]], or [[music]] but usually set within the context of [[autism]] or [[mental retardation]].
-==Abilities==
-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 usually meant 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.
+{{Rcat shell |1=
-It is a rare phenomenon which occurs in some [[autism|autistic]] people and/or people with certain developmental disorders. Some people have acquired savant-like abilities after suffering from head injuries.
