I work at a second home organization for refugees and I know a recent transfer to our housing unit who is a savant who is fearful of being exposed for her ingenuity, reason being she does not want to be under a microscope.
Today we were playing go fish, a game which I absolutely abhor. So I cheated to make it go faster. Problem is, the savant was playing with us and she can’t help herself. As soon as I didn’t give up my fours, she cocked her head and scanned all of her opposing players and said “some one is lying” then verbally deducted it was me. Then she explained how she knew by working out exactly what cards I had in my deck.
Everyone was bewildered and she realized she had exposed herself right after. Now the higher staff is looking to transfer her to a lab that studies savants and I feel terrible.
Tl;dr by cheating at go fish and being caught by a savant, I exposed her
