: Savant syndrome is a perplexing condition characterized by the exceptional abilities or talents of individuals with disabilities or low IQ. : This study shows an individual case of a child with autism, detailing how music therapy may facilitate the discovery of musical abilities and how it can improve different areas of development, e.g., motor function, communication, social skills, and emotional expression. : The 17-year-old male (KH), diagnosed at the age of three with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and having moderate abilities, exhibited no interest in music until the initiation of a music therapy program at the age of 11 years. KH consistently has repeated movements which impede his advancement in various tasks. This observation prompted the occupational therapist to purposefully incorporate this movement into piano training and recommend the initiation of music therapy sessions. He subsequently began utilizing the piano and demonstrated an extraordinary aptitude for musical note interpretation and creation. : Occupational therapy may contribute to revealing hidden savant syndrome in children with ASD. Prolonged musical training has multiple impacts on motor functioning and multi-sensory perception, and it may also elicit favorable behavioral modifications in children with autism.
学者综合征是一种令人费解的病症，其特征是残疾或低智商个体具有超常能力或天赋。本研究展示了一名自闭症儿童的个案，详细说明了音乐疗法如何促进音乐能力的发现，以及如何改善不同的发展领域，如运动功能、沟通、社交技能和情感表达。这名17岁男性（KH）在3岁时被诊断患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD），能力中等，直到11岁开始接受音乐治疗项目之前，对音乐毫无兴趣。KH持续出现重复动作，这阻碍了他在各项任务中的进展。这一观察结果促使职业治疗师有目的地将这种动作融入钢琴训练，并建议开始音乐治疗课程。他随后开始使用钢琴，并展现出对音符诠释和创作的非凡天赋。职业治疗可能有助于发现自闭症谱系障碍儿童隐藏的学者综合征。长期的音乐训练对运动功能和多感官感知有多重影响，也可能引发自闭症儿童良好的行为改变。
