TRUTH !!
People who are on the autistic spectrum may have difficulty interacting with other people. They can be incapable of feeling emotions and get affected by small changes in their routine. Some people on the spectrum may have an extraordinary ability in some specific field like music, art or math, among others, while not functioning in a normal way in common fields. He or she may have mental handicaps except in the subjects where they have extraordinary ability. They can memorize entire books after reading them once, or do mathematical calculations in seconds when a normal individual would take several minutes, or even longer, and memorize an entire concert after listening to it once.
