Autistic Savant Artist Draws Cities From Memory

Stephen Wiltshire, is British architectural artist who is one of the most famous autistic artists in the world.

After flying just once over a City in a helicopter, Stephen can draw the entire cityscape from memory on a 13-foot canvas.

Diagnosed with autism at age three, Stephen Wiltshire is now famous for producing highly detailed scenes after just a brief glance.

Savant syndrome, is a condition in which someone with significant mental disabilities, demonstrates certain abilities far in excess of average. The skills at which savants excel, are generally related to memory. This may include rapid math calculations, artistic ability, map making, or musical ability.

Why present such short videos for this profound subject matter?

Excellent script when a paper is called canvas and there's talk of the "Empire States Building".

Have an autistic cousin that is a coding savant. I've met him once, but he was on an computer doing coding stuff. I thought he was watching YouTube about coding. Nah he's was straight up to something bad probably haha 😂😂 his mom said he hacked into his school's grading system and changes all his and his buddy's grades to 100's. When he goes to other people's houses he's not allowed wifi or anything like that. (He's 10 btw) I always think he'll be working for the government some day.

Side story, before I knew he was on the spectrum I walked up to him and tried to casually talk to him and he screamed "get away from me" super loud at Thanksgiving. I love kids so it freaked me out, I thought I scared him. I went and told his mom about it, she laughed then told me the details.

Really makes me wonder what kinda savants we have out there

I worry because I have a learning disabled younger brother, that he is being exploited by others....but if he is being protected by those around him, that's okay, however if he got lost in New York, he should have had someone with him, because he is vulnerable... I'm glad he's happy though.

But has anyone checked to see if he is accurate ?
