[Hardfigirl07]

Lol I wish I could draw like that!

[DustTown]

Amazing.

[CastleLCFC]

What a truly great man... I have so much respect for this magical bloke, to have such courage, just outstanding! I have heard that there is only 100 people in the world that have obtained a gift through autism. Thats one in 68,009,882 people! Stephen Wiltshite = The World's Best Forget Michael Angelo. Forget Picasso. Forget Leonardo Da Vinci. Forget Van Gogh. Remember Stephen Wiltshire!

[HannaPdP]

This guy did NOT invent anything nearly as impressive as Leonardo.

Da Vinci, Gogh, Picasso and Angelo were great artists!!! This guy draws from memory... There is a difference between a songwriter and the guy who can learn songs. This guy is amazing but he can not be compared to artists. Have you read or studied anything on those artists you mentioned? I think that the most amazing people are the artists not the parrots. (although the parrot can remember a lot of things). This is my opinion.

Actually, Hanna, he's doing exactly what an artist does. Most artists do fall within the autism spectrum. That's what makes them so focused and eclectic.

One of the many traits of autism is the ability to block outter stimuli and zero in on a particular undertaking. This young man most likely has a form of Aspberger syndrome.

Yes, he is an artist. He uses his skill exactly as an artist does.

VanGogh was most definitely an Aspie.

[schizoidali]

Actually, he was quite what we would consider "low-functioning" on the autism spectrum. As a child he had no language, treated people as objects, was essentially mute and often quite sensitive to outer stimuli. That he has overcome that is far more impressive, I think, than his prodigious talent. And as far as most artists falling on the spectrum, I think that yes, quite a few do, but not most.

[mintaloon]

please do not ever again refer to Stephen Wiltshire as a parrot, even though I know that you meant it only on a metaphorical level.
