DESCRIPTION:Prof. Laurent Mottron J M.D.\, Ph.D.\, DEA\nHose : Nouchine Ha
 djikhani\n\nAbstract\nFar from the perceptual  “islets of abilities” d
 escribed in the early era of studies on information processing in autism\,
  there is now evidence for multiple types of perceptual and non-perceptual
  tasks in which autistic people display superior performance in comparison
  to nonautistics. Although any comparison in performance is dependent on m
 atching strategy and group selection\, it is doubtful that superior autist
 ic performance can be reduced to a trivial side effect of either of these 
 two factors. This presentation will expose the areas in which autistics pr
 esent superior performances\, and will attempt to classify the various ove
 rlapping dimensions that may contribute to enhanced information processing
  in savant and non-savant autistics.
