Now for something out of the ordinary because, as we all know, too much exposure to topicality causes severe and permanent damage to imagination and optimism.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

Imagine (what a nice way to begin an out of the ordinary text!) that it is midday and you put food on the table for your children.<\/p>\n

The elder one \u2013 (let\u2019s say that it is a girl) is a \u201cnormal\u201d child. A smiling person, a good student, she has many friends and lately she has taken on lowering the eyes provocatively when a boy makes advances to her.<\/p>\n

Your second child, which is a five-year-old boy, is\u2026\u201ddifferent\u201d.<\/p>\n

He has been this way since he was a baby. He didn\u2019t like cuddling that much \u2013 something that hurt you a lot and filled you with remorse. He was late to talk and avoided playing with the other children right from the start. His best friend is your dog, with whom it seems he can communicate better than people.<\/p>\n

Your psychologist told you about the Asperger\u00a0syndrome, a form on the autism spectrum. In order to make you feel a bit better, he informed you that many researchers maintain that Mozart, Beethoven and Einstein suffered from Asperger\u2019s syndrome.<\/p>\n

This was cold comfort for you. You\u2019d rather have a \u201cnormal\u201d child.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

That midday you had cooked peas. Your son, let\u2019s call him Harry, loves peas and you take care of him the best you can \u2013 perhaps, sometimes, at the expense of your relationship with your daughter.<\/p>\n

When you put the plates before the children, Harry says: \u201cThere are two more beans on Mary\u2019s\u201d.<\/p>\n

If you hadn\u2019t gone to the psychologist, you would probably think that your child is spoiled and you would tell Harry (especially if you had just taken a look at the electricity bill): \u201cJust eat your food and don\u2019t talk\u201d.<\/p>\n

Or you could (if you were not weighed down by topicality) give the Solomon solution; take a pea from Mary\u2019s plate and put it on Harry\u2019s.<\/p>\n

But because the psychologist\u2019s words still ring in your ears and you still have reserves of psychic tranquility, you do something else: You take the children\u2019s dishes (prolonging their hunger for a little longer) and count the peas one by one.<\/p>\n

When you are done, you see that Harry is right! On his dish there are 142 beans whereas on his sister\u2019s there are 144. It took you some time to count them all, yet he did it with just a single look!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

A few days later, while you read him Napoleon\u2019s story (he is not too interested in bedtime stories) you mention the date of the Battle of the Waterloo and Harry pipes up \u201cSunday\u201d.<\/p>\n

You browse Wikipedia and Harry is right once again: The battle of Waterloo was fought on a Sunday!<\/p>\n

With the help of a specialist, you discover that Harry can tell you what day it was 22.000 B.C. ago or what day 22.000 A.D. will be.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~{}~~<\/p>\n

\u201cHarry\u201d is a real person.<\/p>\n

His name is Howard Potter and he can tell you the square root of\u202612851 without thinking, he can tell if a seven-digit number is a prime number and he is exceptionally good when it comes at football statistics.<\/p>\n

People like Howard are named by scientists as \u201csavant\u201d.<\/p>\n

(We humans are prone to debunk ourselves. Homo sapiens, the wise man, became Homo Sapiens Sapiens to be separated from his ancestor who didn\u2019t have a clue what an atomic bomb was. If we add up the third term, then we have Homo Sapiens Sapiens Savant, so it is no-brainer to figure out the burden that Howard bears on his shoulders.)<\/p>\n

It is very hard to define \u201cwise people\u2019s\u201d intelligence since in some field (or fields) they outsmart supercomputers, but at the same time they have a hard time dealing with practical problems that a child learns to cope with from the age of five.<\/p>\n

Their most common weakness is to express and understand human feelings.<\/p>\n

The representation of a smile means nothing to them.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it is not accidental that six out of seven \u201cwise\u201d are men. \u201cWisdom\u201d, just like autism, is much more common to the male sex.<\/p>\n

The psychologist Simon Baron-Cohen maintains that autism is \u201cthe male sex in its most extreme\u201d. He also holds responsibility for this autism the increased secretion of testosterone in the amniotic fluid.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

If we make a funny reduction of the particularity of the \u201cwise\u201d people in every- day life, we could tell that the best part of men are little savants.<\/p>\n

They express themselves with great difficulty (aside anger, which is expressed by attacking).<\/p>\n

They are, more often than women, armoured against the others\u2019 feelings.<\/p>\n

They are able to demonstrate remarkable skills in a field, but at the same time they have trouble remembering where they left their slippers.<\/p>\n

And, for the love of God, take no stab at making a conversation with them when they fry an egg!<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

A few decades ago, psychiatrists put the blame for infant autism on\u2026who else? Women.<\/p>\n

Just because autistic people have this emotional block, doctors maintained that the cause of this were their cold mothers because they didn\u2019t hug their babies.<\/p>\n

Now it is proved that autism is not acquired. A parent\u2019s love and affection may render an autistic individual more functional and happy (which, of course, applies to all children), but it is beyond them to change it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

Autism is not acquired but \u201cwisdom\u201d could. Usually wisdom follows injuries or epileptic seizures.<\/p>\n

Orlando Serrell was struck by a baseball on the left side of his head when he was ten years old. He fainted but when he came back to his senses felt no more pain and continued playing.<\/p>\n

The thing is that a few months later Orlando perceived that he could remember everything!<\/p>\n

After 27 years he can tell you precisely what he did on the 9th of August 1995 or any other day of his life, after the accident occurred.<\/p>\n

But be forewarned before you start striking your grandmother on the head with baseballs or heavier objects.<\/p>\n

Orlando described all these memories as \u201ctrash in my mind\u201d since he could not make the connection between the countless data that crowded his mind.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

The most famous savant case is the \u201cRain Man\u201d. Kim Peek is the most \u201cwise\u201d among the \u201cwise\u201d.<\/p>\n

Characteristically, we mention that he could read and memorize two pages of a book simultaneously in eight seconds. He read the left page with his left eye and at the same time he read the right page with his right eye.<\/p>\n

Peek would be able to read this text in 24 seconds. He would also be able to recall it 20 years later. But, unfortunately, he could not combine creatively the 12,000 books he had committed to his memory to put together an original text.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0~~<\/p>\n

There are many more astonishing savant cases.<\/p>\n

The autistic Matt Savage taught himself overnight to read piano music. He could play Schubert\u00a0six months later and by the age of fourteen he had released four CDs with compositions of his own, a proof that the lack of creativity is not a rule for the \u201cwise\u201d.<\/p>\n

The most vigorous example that \u201cwise\u201d can be creative is a woman, Mary Temple Grandin.<\/p>\n

Grandin, in spite of autism, earned her bachelor\u2019s degree and wrote books about animal\u2019s behavior and how the autistics think. She also came up with improvements of standards of slaughterhouses, so that at least the animals would not suffer before and during their death.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

All these \u201cwise\u201d, each one with peculiarities of their own, are a good argument to tip the scale towards the theory of \u201cquality intelligence\u201d to \u201cquantitative intelligence\u201d, since it seems that great skills like high I.Q, don\u2019t contribute necessarily to creative thought.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ~~<\/p>\n

Wrapping up this text, let\u2019s quote Steve Jobs off a lecture in some University: \u201cIf your IQ is 160, give away 40 units to someone else. You can do everything with an IQ of 120\u201d (the average).<\/p>\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

PS: More than likely there will be readers who will jump down my throat for taking such a serious matter so lightly, so have this in mind:<\/p>\n

People like \u201csavants\u201d or autistics who are not so \u201cwise\u201d, shouldn\u2019t be treated with awe and mock-seriousness, as if they are lesser or greater human beings.<\/p>\n

This well-worn \u201cdifference\u201d is a fairytale for selling books for children.<\/p>\n

It is racial by default, since it classifies people into \u201cnormal\u201d, \u201cdifferent\u201d, into \u201cmany\u201d and \u201cfew\u201d, into \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem\u201d.<\/p>\n

The right term that would emphasize the value of human (and not only) existence would be \u201cdiversity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Every human is different. Our similarities unite us and our differences make us wonderful.<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n

If you wish to learn more about autistics, don\u2019t read a study but the book \u201cThe curious incident of the dog in night-time\u201d by Haddon Mark. It is supposed to be a book for adults, but it was long-listed for the Man Booker Prize just like any other book.<\/p>\n

And make sure you see the movie \u201cTemple Grandin\u201d.<\/p>\n

I found information about \u201cwise\u201d people in an old issue of GEO (July 2007).<\/p>\n
