Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily BENNETT, Auteur ; Pamela HEATON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2739-2753 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism spectrum disorders (ASD)  Special skills  Savants  Weak central coherence  Memory  Intelligence Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parents of 125 children, adolescents and young adults with autism spectrum disorders completed a newly developed questionnaire aimed at identifying cognitive and behavioural characteristics associated with savant skills in this group. Factors distinguishing skilled individuals were then further investigated in case studies of three individuals with exceptional skills for music, art and mathematics. The findings from the case studies largely confirmed the results from the questionnaire study in showing that special skills are associated with superior working memory and highly focused attention that is not associated with increased obsessesionality. Although intellectual impairment and a local bias have been widely associated with special skills in the savant literature, neither the screening nor case studies provided strong evidence for such associations.
