The Autistic Savant : A 4 page paper discussing savant
syndrome, that form of autistic mental retardation that remains a
most intriguing field of study. The savant syndrome skews
most theories of intelligence as they have been defined in that it

of mental retardation. These people have amazing talents in
specific abilities that far exceed those that “normal” people are
able to achieve, such as instantaneously and mentally
calculating 20-digit numbers or delivering the day of the week
of any given date from any year. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Determining Dyslexia’s True Cause : A 20 page paper
discussing dyslexia in terms of its status as a learning disability
and of current research, and from the perspective of guidance
counseling. The broad term of “learning disability” generally is
reserved for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Dyslexia.
More severe restraints on learning also affect general
intelligence, which neither ADD nor dyslexia does. In all
respects aside from those of the specific afflictions, sufferers of
these learning disabilities not only possess average intelligence,
there also is a significant percentage of them whose intelligence
level is considered to be far above normal. The official word on
causes of these learning disabilities is that the cause is unknown,
but several researchers believe there have been some important
questions answered in the last several years of research,
including a link to abnormalities in the brain’s processing of
certain sounds. The paper proposes a questionnaire-based study
centered on school guidance counselors. Bibliography lists 29
