Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that approximately 50% of individuals with savant syndrome also have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is a strong correlation between ASD and savant abilities, although not all individuals with ASD have savant abilities and not all savants have ASD. Other conditions, such as fragile X syndrome, schizophrenia, or fetal alcohol syndrome, may contribute to intellectual disability, but are not strongly associated with the development of savant abilities.
