520    Savant syndrome is a rare condition in which individuals 
       with developmental disorders have one or more areas of 
       expertise, ability, or brilliance - 'islands of genius' - 
       that exist in contrast with their overall limitations. 
       This paradox of genius and limitation within the same 
       person offers a unique window on talent, intelligence and 
       memory, and raises interesting questions about the hidden 
       brain potential within us all. What makes the mind of a 
       savant tick? Does this exceptional potential exist within 
       each of us? If so, how can it be tapped? This unique 
       account of Dr Darold Treffert's 47-yea.
