The specialization of human intelligence, perhaps paradoxically, is also the source of its generalization power.

*off topic, in the same vein. I tend to think that deeper the specialization (as long as the object of specialization could afford a powerful enough meta-language), stronger the generalizability to areas outside the specialization.
It's a matter of abstraction and abstractibility. Specialization without abstraction is single-use.

In autism one thing that can happen is person may know perfectly well how to behave in one situation but not be able to generalize it to a similar slightly different situation. Those skills needs to be explicitly taught, over and over. Generalization can (sometimes) then occur.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a reference for that?
