It is a misleading term due to the fact that the so called "idiot" part of the syndrome came about because of the poor social adjustment of these individuals (as a result of what is now perceived as an autism spectrum disorder). The "savant" part of the syndrome was so designated, due to the fact that very specific and in-depth knowledge in a narrow area of study occurred. For example, some individuals could be given any year, month and date, and rapidly calculate (in their heads) what day of the week this would have fallen on.

There is no IQ number associated with the term idiot in psychological diagnoses. We simply don't refer to people in that manner. However, they did in the past, people were labelled an idiot at the 20 range. However, those were different times, and the term idiot didn't really carry the stigma and insult that it does today. Today we refer to those among that range as profoundly mentally retarded. Even though these terms exist in the DSM IV TR, they are not particularly useful and will likely change with the DSM V.

a doctor XD Usually people use the term "idiot savant" or "autistic savant" ... and sometimes even just "savant." There are some people who are very socially limited, or limited with language or other things... but who can count every jellybean in a large jar, spilled in a split second all over the floor. Or do incredibly complex math problems in their heads. ... Things that I couldn't dream of doing. There are also people called "genius savants" who can do the same things, without the limitation of not being able to get along in society.
What is the difference between Autism and Idiot Savant?
Autism is a class of brain disorders involving the processing of information, especially social cues. The degree of impairment differs based on the type of autism, which is why autism is often called a spectrum disorder.Idiot savant is the pejorative and now-defunct term used for a person with savant syndrome, defined as having an extreme or excessive talent focused in one well-defined area, such as: photographic memory, large-number calculation skill, calendar calculation ability, or a near-intuitive talent or drawing or sculpting. While being autistic or mentally impaired certainly isn't a requirement for savant syndrome, they make up the majority of those who do have it; which is how the original term came about in the first place.
