>>14012388>Isn’t it defined as having an island of talent in a sea of disability?Kind of, but far more extreme talent and FAR more extreme mental disability compared to what you're describing.
Savants are pretty much exclusively autists and the mentally retarded.
>idk I'm pretty aut-Not the meme autism, not high functioning autism either, actual incapable-of-functioning-independently-and-form-coherent-speech autism.
Autistic savants would be folks with photographic memory, or being able to play absolutely anything from hearing it once on a piano no matter how complicated.
Being able to very easily do stuff even masters in their field would struggle with.
It's also suggested that these savant instances have to do with whatever disability they have, which is why you hear about autistic savants a lot more than practically-lobotomized-vegetable savants.
"I'm kinda dumb but kinda decent at guitar' isn't being a savant, that's just you being pleasantly surprised by not being hopeless at literally everything.
Keep practicing, music is a fantastic skill/hobby, sharpens the mind too.
