This is Allan Snyder's special research interest at the moment. Have a look
at
http://www.edime.com.au/mind/front.htm
where, along with a fair bit of stuff about what a great guy and genius
Allan Snyder is (and he is pretty damned smart, as I found when I
introduced him at a conference last year where he spoke on this topic),
you'll discover an article on his work on autistic savantry.
