The average non-Autistic does not have these abilities soooooooo..........
These abilities are more than likely not measurable by current I.Q standards yet they may give you an edge in problem solving, imagination, creativity, academic subjects, trivia, etc in a non-conventional way.

Savant Syndrome:
Epidemiology
One in ten people with autism have savant skills.[1]
50% of savants have autism; the other 50% often have psychological disorders or mental illnesses.[1]
Prodigious savants have very significant disorder and disability. Examples include Richard Wawro, Henriett Seth F., and Jonathan Lerman.
A 2009 British study of 137 parents of autistic children found that 28% believed their offspring met the criteria for a savant skill, defined as a skill or power "at a level that would be unusual even for normal people".[7]
Speaking as a regular dude, many of you, my friends, fit the definition of Savant Syndrome and don't even know it. Anecdotal evidence is beginning to convince me of either (1) the estimation of Savant Syndrome is too low( similar to how the projection of cognitive disabilities were too high in the Autist) (2) The natural neurology of the Autist (where some are aware of unusual abilities compared to the norm and others are not).
In my opinion, too many people are looking for abilities deemed important by society (academic) and not those that may seem trivial.
