Spring Break

I think the coolest thing we read about this week was learning about the savant syndrome. Even though when people think of a savant, they think of people that have some form autism, I think that it is possible to be a savant even when you are not autistic. Everyone has one thing that they are good at, so wouldn't that mean that we all have some sort of savant ability? Maybe not to the extent of autistic people, but we all have something that makes us unique. One of my friends somehow knows every little useless fact about life and is able to quote every movie after seeing it only once. But this doesn't mean he is necessarily a savant. Still though, I think that the studies done with savants is really cool.
