[QUOTE="Martie, post: 13628, member: 284"] I saw it also and it was VERY interesting. His AS tendencies were so mild as to be invisible in an edited tape. However, he disclosed that he is "face blind" about an hour after meeting a person. I would have loved to know if he can recognize familiar people. Also of note--he learned Icelnadic, which is a very difficult language, in one week--so much for the idea that savant's memory feats are always math related. This poor guy will be everyone's favorite research subject for years to come--I mean "poor guy" because he is unique in the billions of people alive apparently and not because he has a mild disability in the presence of savant abilities.
