Curious how something like autism unlocks such savant capability. Makes you wonder if things like this could be somehow unlocked for everyone.

Check out this pianist.

Blind since birth, and can’t tell his right from his left, and has trouble counting to ten.

I think they said he “sees” musical notes like we see colors.

Autism holds the key to producing human genius. There should be a crash program to understand its causes and perceptual amplifications.

Had a distant cousin who lived across the road in the country. No language at all, just grunts, whines, cries and laughs. He came over one day and stood looking at our huge old farmhouse for about 15 mintues. His dad came back the next day with a pencil drawing of our house to scale, with every piece of wood siding exact in number. We’re talking a huge house with double bay windows,lots of fancy work. It was amazing! He also came over and looked at dad’s old threshing machine rusting in the pasture and came back with a scale drawing with every nut and bolt in place.

EXTREMELY TALENTED!

He was probably in his sixties when I was a teenager at home.

Thanks.

There is only one letter difference between ARTistic and AUTistic. From what I have read many great artists have been “half a bubble off center”.

Creative minds are truly unlocked.

My daughter has an autistic friend who could do this in first grade. He could draw an exact replica of an Elmer’s Glue bottle with no bottle in sight.
