According to Treffert:
One in ten autistic people have savant skills.
50% of savants are autistic; the other 50% often have psychological disorders or mental illnesses.
Prodigious savants have very little disability.
A 2009 British study of 137 parents with autistic children found that 28% believed their offspring met the criteria for a savant skill, that is, a skill or power "at a level that would be unusual even for normal people".
