Savant Syndrome

An interesting video dating from the mid-Sixties where two autistic savants are interviewed...displaying amazing ability with date calculations, but nearly no ability on awareness of simple facts. Audio sync corrected on this version.

@big7bro7 I also read that and yes you are right. However I believe that Hoffman based the mannerisms of his character on this guy in the video. He probably being dead by the time Rain Man was being made.
