(www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk) One of Stephen's extraordinary abilities is to memorize landscapes up to the highest detail. During this flight he had a thorough look at the view of the Japanese capital from the helicopter including thousands of buildings, towers, high-ways, cars, buses, even down to intricate details of trees and windows. Following the 30 minutes ride Stephen seemed to be very excited and ready for the challenge.

    Bet he didn't have to look at his study note. Just be in class.

    What a beautiful talent. This is truly amazing. I would rather focus on the person than on Savant's Syndrome - but one cannot help but applaud the amazing variations that are manifest by the syndrome. Does Stephen also draw people?

  11. Connie Says:
    Certainly. Autism does not come with the lack of understanding. For example Steven Spielberg too has a kind of autism. (Aspergers syndrome.) The thing is with autists, that they process information - especially visual information - in a whole different way than us, normal people.
  12. Samson Says:
    He's autistic and only learned to speak when he was 9, he didn't do great at school.
  13. Adelyte Says:
    he must of had straight A's when he was young. all he has to do is look at his study book
  14. Blagdan Says:

  19. Berenice Says:
    The Savant Syndrome(savantism) is the name of the disease. The causes are not yet clear. You can also search for Kim Peek, a savant, who can memorise an entire phonebook, but he's not able to tight his shoes. Stephen is one of the less afeccted with autism of all the savants in the world.
