I disagree, I would assume that autistic savants do qualify as having Enhanced Intelligence.

Autistic savants have exceptional intellectual giftedness in one or several areas of expertise while having average ability to incompetancy in most other areas.

If you look at the page for Enhanced Intelligence it states in the limitations section.-Brain capacity might have a limit on intelligence that can be in one person.

-The knowledge and intelligence may be limited to certain areas of expertise.

This means that a person with Enhanced Intelligence, or in other words a person who is profoundly gifted may have their mental capacity restricted and limited, thus meeting the critera to be a savant.

Just to prove to you that savants do qualify as having Enhanced Intelligence, if you look at the list of known users, "L Lawliet" and "Near" from Death Note are both listed and they are both autistic savants.

Here's what is says on the wikipedia article for superintelligence...

"In plain language, profoundly gifted people or savants are called superintelligent.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superintelligence

Savants may have lower overall intelligence but they still qualify for Enhanced Intelligence because they have a genius-level intellect in one or more areas of expertise.
