Hi Nina:
First Nina is a beautiful name.
What the term for this person is a autistic savant . In years gone past they were institutionalized or ridiculed as mentally retarded( a word I'm glad they don't use anymore).
It has been proven that savants are only missing Genome DNA Cell that would put them in a category of genius.
Almost all savants have a miraculous gift, whether it be math, music or other skills that would take others years if not a life time to achieve. I hope this helps
Thanks
