How amazing is the autistic guy on channel 5 at the minute? such talent!?

Question

he draws amazing pictures just from his photographic memory!

Answer 1

They are sweethearts too! :-D

Answer 2

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with him when he was younger. His skill as an artist is truly unique, but the progress he has made in his social and life skills are his greatest achievements.

I also have a son with autism and moderate learning difficulties, now 25 years old and living semi-independently.

I wish people understood that it is only a very tiny number of people who have savant skills, not everyone with autism!

Answer 3

People who, unfortunately, suffer with autism always have a particular field that they excel in.

I have a 10 yr old grandson who excels in computer technology.........he can teach me a thing or two ! but he has difficulty in conversing with people.

He also excels in doing jigsaws.......he looks at the picture and off he goes.  He does not need to look at the picture again....it's as if he has a photographic memory of the picture, colours and the content of the picture.

Obviously the guy on channel 5 also has a photographic memory and excels in art......he could go a long way !

Answer 4

It is nto uncommon for a person with autism to have some special skill-but not everyone does-

I have know a child who could do teh rainman thing-

one that was a human mapquest/member directory/extraordinary reader-

one whose musical skills exceleld above all other skills....
