The story of Flo and Kay, the world’s only female autistic twins. Savantism is a rare condition in which a person with a developmental disorder, usually autism, is able to perform feats of genius far beyond their expected abilities. As far as Flo and Kay are concerned, they both have an extraordinary memory for facts and dates.
Among her many special talents is the ability to calculate the day of the week for any date (past or future). They can remember the weather every day of their lives, and even what they had for breakfast.
According to psychologist Dr. The organized minds of David Holmes, Flo and Kay are reflected in their organized lives. The more organized they are, the more secure they feel, he said.
The 52-year-old twins are lively and sociable. You are passionate about music and enjoy going to concerts and having a good laugh. This means they don’t fit the typical stereotype of someone with autism.
At the Neuroscience Institute of New Jersey, Ph.D. Nancy Isenberg was assessed using the Autism Diagnostic Observatory (ADOS). She asks Flo and Kay a series of questions about their friendship and relationship. In addition to listening to their reactions, she also observes the sisters’ body language.
