Godfather of savant research ‘never seen’ a case like Sharjah’s Nandana, reports Sajila Saseendran
A nine-year-old autistic girl in Sharjah, whose extraordinary ability to read her mother’s mind was revealed to the world last week, could be the next name added to a worldwide registry of people with savant talents, according to the world’s top expert in savant syndrome.
People with savant syndrome exhibit extraordinary abilities, but have serious mental disabilities including autistic disorder.

In an exclusive report published on March 25, Khaleej Times brought to light the story of miracle girl Nandana Unnikrishnan, an autistic Indian child who can feel her mother’s emotions and read her thoughts, without any medium.
The story that generated massive response among the readers, other media and experts in the fields of autism and psychiatry also caught the attention of Dr Darold A. Treffert, who is dubbed the godfather of savant research and was a consultant for the Oscar-winning box office smash Rain Man, which depicted Dustin Hoffman as a savant.
After reading the report on the Khaleej Times website, Dr Treffert wrote to Khaleej Times expressing his interest in the story and his long-term involvement researching savant syndrome.
“(I) have been involved in research on savant syndrome for many years. Savant syndrome itself is rare. But the type of telepathy Nandana exhibits is extraordinarily rare. I am investigating several cases now and appreciate learning about Nandana.”
Dr Treffert conveyed his desire to learn more about Nandana’s talents and called the Khaleej Times report “very convincing”.
He has been actively sharing the story with followers of his website and other colleagues, and said he expected Nandana’s ability to “remain exceedingly rare”.
According to Dr Treffert, Nandana’s story is fascinating even within the world of the savants who are indeed extraordinary people.
“I certainly want to emphasize that Nandana’s case is extraordinarily rare in an already rare condition, but with far-reaching ramifications. I also want to compliment you on the testing you did to confirm the ability…When it is musical skill, or art, the pieces speak for themselves. But in this instance the ability needs to be demonstrated by more rigorous testing of the type you did.”
He said what was most striking was that there was no physical contact between Nandana and her mother as in facilitated communication: “That’s good. Facilitated communication with the parent or another person actually touching the patient’s arm or elbow is a controversial technique.”

i am an empath and pick up people’s energies, moods and sometimes thoughts. i can usually predict what will happen to the people around me. i can’t control it very well yet, but i am learning. this is not uncommon, there are people all over the world with this and other special abilities and we are here to help and guide.
Doesn’t everyone have this ability? It is very normal imo. It’s called listening and feeling, empathy. So easy to read a person. Perhaps most people are just to narcissistic, preoccupied, or self-centered, egotistical to notice others moods, thought, and feelings.
Maybe this is why the status quo is always so shocked when their priest or coach or teacher molests children…they are simply focused on the false face put forth instead of listening to intuition.
There are varying degrees of sensitivity, observation, emotional or interpersonal intelligence & innate ability. Just like mathematic skills, writing, art, etc. About 15% of the population is considered to be Highly Sensitive Persons, where their nervous system is infact wired differently to most people. These genetic traits have been observed in over 100 animal species. Sensitivity to stimulation is exceptional, often overwhelming (lights, crowds, conflict) & these people are almost always highly creative or ‘gifted’ in some way. They are not weak, ‘cry babies’ or any of that. Those labels come from ignorant people. They have an exceptional natural gift, which is however a very sharp double-edged sword. I certainly agree though, that 90% of non-HSP could greatly increase their awareness, perception & compassion through a bit of conscious application & effort..
