Stephen Wiltshire; From Autistic Child to Famous Artist
The human brain is a mysterious "place", a fact no better illustrated than the case of Stephen Wiltshire. He was severely autistic as a child, but developed the amazing ability to draw accurate landscapes and buildings from memory, usually after having seen the original only once for a short time. He is now well known in the UK as an artist. Read an overview of his life and career in this medical journal article or in Wikipedia. Watch a remarkable YouTube video as he flies over Rome then draws a large panorama from memory.
