Most of the time communicating with those people is difficult at the best of times. This guy is very articulate. A sample of where human evolution will take us perhaps?

What I think is truly interesting is that he's skilled in both left AND right brain strengths. Most savants have extraordinary talents in math or art/music. Not only does he stand out for having no obvious mental disabilities, as mentioned in the article, but his gifts extend far beyond the "average" savant.

Impressive, saw a program about him a while ago. He's like the guy they based Rainman on, but more normal.

I liked watching him play blackjack - he was just a bit good at it.

they are called idiot savants.  Most if not all have some sort of autism or Aspergers.  This particular person has a mild form of Autism if I recall correctly.  He is an anomaly in the Savant group because he has the ability to describe his thought process and his highly evolved social skills.

There are a few really popular ones-

Kim Peek-the film Rainman was based on his life

Stephen Wiltshire

Learning pi as far as he did was impressive, but to learn another language from vocab to syntax and be able to speak it fluently in a week....holy shit!

"Pretty smart" is an understatement.

Purely fascinating.... inhuman almost.

God damn man.  we need more people like this in the world.  People way beyond the scope of 'normal' human abilities of memorization and numerical calculations.
