An interesting video dating from the mid-Sixties where two autistic savants are interviewed...displaying amazing ability with date calculations, but nearly no ability on awareness of simple facts. Audio sync corrected on this version.

The IQs of those with Savant syndrome is generally below 70. I find that such abstruse skills demonstrate the spectrum of intelligence that exists in the mind as opposed to the singular (general) intelligence that is IQ. The perception of brilliance should not be deterred by impoverished skills in one area. All areas of the brain do not function at the same levels.

Can you tie yours? Hopefully your ability to tie your own shoes is superior to your ability to make an intelligent comment. As for low standards of intelligence perhaps you can come up with higher ones. At the top of the list of higher standards should be the ability to make an intelligent reply to someone else's comments.

They can't tie their own shoes, idiot. They are autistic and unbelievable calculators, not Einsteins. It's a different form of brilliance. I do like that you think people who don't know how minutes are in an hour are 'not EXCEPTIONALLY brilliant' Those are some low standards for intelligence.
