Ko te mate savant, e kīia ana hoki ko ngā "moutere o te māramatanga motuhake", he āhuatanga ka kitea i ētahi tāngata whai Mate o te Kāhui Āhuatanga Ātete (Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD). Ahakoa he taumata whanaketanga noa tō te tangata, he ngoikore rānei ētahi atu pūkenga, tērā pea ka tino whakahirahira tōna kaha ki tētahi wāhanga motuhake, pērā i te puoro, te pāngarau, te toi whakairoiro, me ētahi atu mātauranga.
I ēnei rā, e whakaarohia ana e ētahi kairangahau he rerekē te tukanga o te roro o ngā tāngata whai ASD ki te whiwhi me te whakahaere i ngā pārongo tairongo. E ai ki ētahi kaimātai hinengaro, tērā pea ko ngā uauatanga ki te whakawhanaunga me te noho tahi ki ētahi atu ka ahu mai i te kaha rawa o ngā wheako tairongo. Hei tauira, ka rongo pea te tamaiti whai ASD he tino kaha rawa te reo o ngā tāngata e kōrero ana, he nui rawa hoki ngā whakaongaonga o tōna taiao. Nā konei, ka whiriwhiri pea ia i te noho mokemoke, nā te mea he māmā ake ki a ia te whakahaere i ngā pārongo e tae mai ana.
Ko taua noho mokemoke me te aro nui ki ngā tino kaupapa e rata ana te tangata ka āhei pea ki te whakapakari i ngā pūkenga motuhake. Mā te whakapau wā roa ki tētahi mahi kotahi, ka tino tere ake te whanaketanga o aua pūkenga.
Kua whakapaetia e ētahi kairangahau i whakaatu ētahi tino pūtaiao me ngā kaituhi rongonui o mua i ngā āhuatanga e hāngai ana ki te ASD. Kei roto i ngā ingoa e kōrerohia nuitia ana ko Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, me Hans Christian Andersen. Heoi anō, kāore ēnei whakapae i taea te whakamana mā te tātaritanga hauora, nō reira me whakaarohia hei ariā hītori noa iho.
Ehara i te mea he mea nui noa iho ngā āhuatanga ā-whanaketanga. He nui hoki te wāriu o te mātauranga, te whakatipu tamariki, te taiao e tipu ai te tangata, me ngā wheako o tōna oranga. Hei tauira, mēnā kāore a Isaac Newton i tipu ake i roto i ngā āhuatanga i tautoko i tana ako me tana rangahau, tērā pea kāore i puta mai āna kitenga nui. Ki te tika ngā whakapae mōna, tērā pea ko tana "moutere o te māramatanga" ko te pāngarau me te āhei ki te waihanga tauira matatini i roto i tōna hinengaro, ahakoa tōna āhua noho puku me te kore e tino whakawhanaunga.
Ka ara ake tētahi pātai whakamere: mehemea i tipu ake tētahi atu tangata i te wā kotahi me Newton, i raro hoki i ngā āhuatanga ōrite, engari he tangata tino pāpori, he tangata e rata ana ki ngā huihuinga me te noho tahi ki te tokomaha, kua taea rānei e ia ngā kitenga pūtaiao i tutuki i a Newton?
I ēnei rā, ka kitea tonu ētahi tauira rongonui o te mate savant. Ko Stephen Wiltshire, hei tauira, he kaitoi nō Ingarangi i taea te tuhi i tētahi whakaahua whānui o te tāone o New York e tata ana ki te rima mita te roa, whai muri noa iho i tana mātakitaki i te tāone mai i runga waka topatopa mō te rua tekau meneti. Ko te tā pikitia tōna tino pūmanawa motuhake.
I roto i ngā pūrākau whakaata, he tokomaha ngā kiripuaki e whakaarohia ana e ngā kaititiro he āhuatanga ASD ō rātou. Hei tauira, e whakapono ana ētahi ko Gregory House, te kiripuaki matua o te raupapa House, e whakaatu ana i ngā āhuatanga e hāngai ana ki te ASD, ahakoa kāore tēnei i whakamanahia i roto i te kōrero. Ko Dr. Shaun Murphy, te kiripuaki matua o te raupapa The Good Doctor, he tangata whai ASD e ai ki te kōrero o taua raupapa. Ki ēnei kiripuaki e rua, ko tā rāua tino pūmanawa ko te tātaritanga hauora.
Ko Greta Thunberg, te kaiwhaiwhai rongonui mō te taiao, kua kōrero tūmatanui mō tana whai Asperger syndrome, e whakaarohia ana ināianei hei wāhanga o te Autism Spectrum Disorder. Ko tana tino pūmanawa ko tana māramatanga hōhonu me tana ūmanga ki ngā kaupapa taiao me te panonitanga āhuarangi.
Me maumahara, ehara i te mea ka whai "moutere o te māramatanga" ngā tāngata katoa whai ASD. He rerekē ia tangata, ā, kāore pea e kitea he pūmanawa tino motuhake. Heoi anō, tērā pea kei reira tonu aua pūmanawa, engari kāore anō kia kitea, kia whakawhanakehia rānei. Ko te tautoko tika, te mātauranga, me te whai wāhitanga ki te ako ka āwhina i te tangata kia kitea, kia whakatinanahia tōna ake kaha motuhake.
