Veridical mapping in savant abilities, absolute pitch, and synesthesia: An autism case study
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 An enhanced role and autonomy of perception are prominent in autism. Furthermore, savant abilities, absolute pitch, and synesthesia are all more commonly found in autistic individuals than in the typical population. The mechanism of veridical mapping has
