The Big Difference

A Little Matter of Gender: Developmental Differences among Savants Prof. Simon Baron-Cohen, considered one of the world's most competent autism experts, is not afraid of making himself unpopular. Baron-Cohen's findings break with the dogma that men's and women's brains differ only slightly. In his opinion, the operating principle of the extremely male brain can produce geniuses and monsters - and savants.
