Abstract
The drawings of two artistically gifted young people with autism (BX and CZ) were compared and related to their cognitive profiles. BX is more typical of other cases of autistic savants in his choice of non-human subject matter and linear style of drawing and also in his cognitive profile. CZ is unusual in drawing the human face and in concentrating on the drawing technique of tonal contrasts; her cognitive profile is also atypical. The article highlights individual differences within the autistic savant population.
