Savant people are caused in two ways:
1. Most of autistic savants are somehow disabled at the birth. Many savants cant talk properly, or even dress themselves.
2. If normal person is hit in the head, or having a brain damage, he might wake up as a savant. These people are also disabled, or have deen intelectually set to the level of an eight-year old.
by the way, I'm not really an English speaker, so don't wonder if i wrote anything stupid.

What is the definition of 'autistic savant'?
First, I suggest reading "Born on a Blue day" by Daniel Tammet. The author is Autistic Savant and the book is about his experience with the syndrome. A definition from MedicineNet.com is: Autistic savant: A person with autism who is exceptionally gifted in a specialized field. That field may, for example, be mathematics. The autistic savant may be able to do rapid, complex mental calculations. Or the field may be music. The autistic savant may be able to perform a entire piece of music after hearing it only once. The term "autistic savant" has replaced the old term "idiot savant," which is perjorative and imprecise. A savant (from the French savoir, to know) is a sage, a learned person.
