Savant and splinter skills are seen in memory, art, music or
spatial skill amongst others. They can appear remarkable, but tend
to be seen as 'obsessive' behaviors. Exploring Giftedness and
Autism is based on a unique study which introduces and explores a
differentiated curriculum and presents a combination of strategies
employed in the education of gifted children and autistic children.
Providing insights on the obsessive nature of savant skills, the
challenging behaviors of savants and the familial link between the
subject child's savant abilities and giftedness, the author
highlights how the inclusion of this curriculum is critical in
promoting better school performance and post-school employment
opportunities. The study has demonstrated the importance of using a
'strengths' rather than a 'deficits' approach in the education of
students with a disability, and regards autistic savants as gifted
students with disabilities, or as 'twice-exceptional' students with
autism. With a practical section dedicated to putting the research
into practice this book is an incredibly important read for anyone
working with gifted young people with disabilities in the
classroom.
