Although there a few other connections, I had a recent converstation with a psychiatrist about having been referred to as an idiot savant. To which he replied (not his exact words)I wasn't dumb enough to be in that category which is typical for people who have down syndrome.
I had also said I was diagnosed as having dissociative identity disorder and repressed memories I was recalling to which he also said isn't recognized either. And yet some websites say differently. I suppose he is what some people refer to as a: "Bot?" or similar.
I did notice that he was nearly motionless and his eyes didn't seem to blink either as if reading from some texbook page from memory or teleprompter somewhere in the room.
A person with DID or alternate personalities would seem to me to be an idiot savant if they were to pass these tests also.
To assume anything from textbooks this way isn't enough proof either.
Let's not forget Get Smart or "Ow, that smarts!" either.

so what does that tell you about yourself
I told him this many times, and he doesn't get it, he
said you want aspergers, I said no I want you IQ and photographic memory and your smarts ion science and math, that's all. LOL.

Or what kind of recipe makes for enlightenment or happiness...
