* '''2005-01-28''' [http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/050128_monkey_business.html Monkeys Pay to See Female Monkey Bottoms]: yes, this is actually relevant to autism. Monkeys also "pay" to see pictures of higher-ranking males, and have to be "paid" to view pictures of lower-ranking males &ndash; even without having met the males in the pictures &ndash; they are somehow determining rank simply from looking at the picture. This has implications in the field of autism, because autistic people show a marked lack of interest in looking at other people at all, much less in deriving information about social rank and other related attributes.

Unfortunately, it appears that Carly's ability is rare -- though it's possible more individuals may have such abilities but didn't have the benefit of the [[applied behavioral analysis]] therapy she received. Also, just how "rare" is this particular combination (no speech but good grasp of language)? One person has posted videos; surely there must be many others who haven't.
