Holy Cow! Remember Dustin Hoffman's role in Rain Man? His phenomenal mathematical mind led his shady brother (played by Tom Cruise) to take him to the casino to win at the tables. In real life, we're only beginning to understand autism and its different manifestations. I just found these two videos on Stephen Wiltshire from Britain. The first one is a flight over Rome and the second is from Tokyo. In each, he gets one helicopter flight over the city, committing the skyline and cityscape into his brain. After the flight, he draws the scene from memory to a huge panoramic drawing pad and the results are nothing short of incredible. You gotta see this one!
