Musical Savants - autism, blindness

a expirment for u guys to try, pop up ur favorite song on itunes, listen to it focus on the rythym the lyrics. now do it with ur eyes closed. like the impaired man instead of focusing on your 5 senses, your sight is gone, 4 senses left, try holding ur breath close ur nostrils for about 10 seconds and listen to that music, if ur focusing on only 3 senses the music should sound much more clear and you will be able to focus on the rythym and lyrics easier

Rex doesn't really raise my eyebrows but Derek is just fantastic!!

mabye, but untill we can see inside their head, well not know if theyre stupid, or insanley smart and overloaded with info

Autism is not the same as a Savant. A Savant is a very very rare case in Autism.

More often than not I have found that each child had one thing about them that was savant-esque. and while I agree, not all of autistic people are, the ones that do have these qualities...are like superheros.

Not all those with Autism are savants.

Yes, yes, negative my comment, but I have met autistic children and worked with them and they blow my mind with the things that they can do or comprehend, especially for being "impaired".

Yeah, maybe its the next step in human evolution. Who knows...

a minor is not a pitch. it's a chord... but these people don't cease to amaze me.

I know you are right, but after having seen him i do tend to believe him ヅ

I think its a shame to learn that a genius like him mostly duplicate and hardly ever create. I bet he can lift the music as we know it to a whole other level.
