Ok I think my main annoyance is why the focus on autistic savants and not just the rest of us that are normal or above-average that aren't savants? After all only about 10% from what I read of Autistics are Savants as well. It's like continuing with this "Rainman" image of Autistics that doesn't help us because they expect us to be all 'savants' or all 'low functioning'. What is with the 'romanticism' so to speak with autistics having to always be portrayed as savants or mentally challenged in books and film? If you really want people to understand those on the autism spectrum, don't limit to stereotypes. As I tell people and have been told myself, once you've see one Autistic/Aspie, you've seen just that... one person. Just from looking at that one person you can't portray those on the autism spectrum near effectively and accurately without putting misconceptions at play. You only end up effectively causing more damage than good. That's just my honest opinion.
