It is a misleading term due to the fact that the so called "idiot" part of the syndrome came about because of the poor social adjustment of these individuals (as a result of what is now perceived as an autism spectrum disorder). The "savant" part of the syndrome was so designated, due to the fact that very specific and in-depth knowledge in a narrow area of study occurred. For example, some individuals could be given any year, month and date, and rapidly calculate (in their heads) what day of the week this would have fallen on.

What is the IQ number meaning idiot?
There is no IQ number associated with the term idiot in psychological diagnoses. We simply don't refer to people in that manner. However, they did in the past, people were labelled an idiot at the 20 range. However, those were different times, and the term idiot didn't really carry the stigma and insult that it does today. Today we refer to those among that range as profoundly mentally retarded. Even though these terms exist in the DSM IV TR, they are not particularly useful and will likely change with the DSM V.

What is the definition of 'autistic savant'?
First, I suggest reading "Born on a Blue day" by Daniel Tammet. The author is Autistic Savant and the book is about his experience with the syndrome. A definition from MedicineNet.com is: Autistic savant: A person with autism who is exceptionally gifted in a specialized field. That field may, for example, be mathematics. The autistic savant may be able to do rapid, complex mental calculations. Or the field may be music. The autistic savant may be able to perform a entire piece of music after hearing it only once. The term "autistic savant" has replaced the old term "idiot savant," which is perjorative and imprecise. A savant (from the French savoir, to know) is a sage, a learned person.

a doctor XD Usually people use the term "idiot savant" or "autistic savant" ... and sometimes even just "savant."

What is the difference between Autism and Idiot Savant?
Autism is a class of brain disorders involving the processing of information, especially social cues. The degree of impairment differs based on the type of autism, which is why autism is often called a spectrum disorder.Idiot savant is the pejorative and now-defunct term used for a person with savant syndrome, defined as having an extreme or excessive talent focused in one well-defined area, such as: photographic memory, large-number calculation skill, calendar calculation ability, or a near-intuitive talent or drawing or sculpting. While being autistic or mentally impaired certainly isn't a requirement for savant syndrome, they make up the majority of those who do have it; which is how the original term came about in the first place.
