60 Minutes had a fascinating story on a 13 year old math prodigy. I'm curious about the roots of autism, and whether it is genetically linked to high intelligence. Smart folks have a long history of being socially challenged, is autism just a magnification of that? And of the 90% of people with autism who aren't savants, are their minds similarly focused on things which aren't as useful as the talents of the savants, but show similar brain function?
