Are Prodigies Autistic? | Psychology Today | High Ability | Scoop.it
New study on prodigies reveals some startling findings. By Scott Barry Kaufman, Ph.D....

"Looking at all eight children together, the researchers found some striking patterns. The first thing they noticed is the wide spread of IQ scores- ranging from 108 to 147. Consistent with the work of Feldman and Morelock, it appears that a high IQ is not necessary to be a prodigy.

What was particularly striking, however, was their subtest scores. Every single prodigy displayed an exceptional working memory."
