The case of Nadia is unique in the history of autism and in the history of outsider art. Nadia's exuberantly prolific drawings in early childhood remain a mystery as well as an incredible achievement. This book sees the author who first discovered Nadias's abilities unravel the story and consider the exceptional case history within the context of the latest research on autism and talent. - Uta Frith, UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UK This book is completely unique; it contains a wealth of description, and applies the latest cognitive neuroscience research to our understanding of autism and savantism. There are few opportunities for a psychologist to have followed an autistic savant across their lifetime over 30 years to see how their condition changes, and readers will be fascinated with this new volume. - Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology and Director of the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, UK
