Question why some people call me a savant

Due to my symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder, why do some people think that I am a savant? I am not a savant, I just am very intelligent in my restricted interests.

  • I do wish psychologists could've been more responsible with the language they use to educate on Autistic "Neuro-Wiring", which is a better expression even if it takes creative liberty.

    By symptoms, I presume you have certain traits which appear differently than Non-Autistic society. 

    Throughout history we've had remarkably intelligent individuals without who, we would've never advanced technologically or scientifically. 

    It's a bit of a Novelty to someone who is non-autistic and fluid with social expressions and communication, to meet someone or know someone who either hasn't been taught a few principles of exchange for social interaction but also thinks or reasons beyond the capacity of most. Sometimes people feel embarrassed or in contrast, dull, dumb or redundant. 

    There will be a valid reason why you don't expand your interests. But I wonder if you can find a way of being interested in anything should a thing you have a certain talent for or toward understanding be connected?

    Anyway - please expand on what you enjoy and what social problems you find as there might be a reason others respond the way they do.
