It would be good to see Ping Lian Yeak to do the line drawing and not just the colours. Any chance for another video?

Ping Lian's parents should invest in some larger brushes, it's more difficult to

paint large areas like the sky with that 1" brush!

My son at the age of 3 could read Juice and then it was gone, no speech, lots of tears, I already knew something was wrong. So am I to call him a savant when he suddenly starts writing and spelling big words, we had never approached him with, he gets removed during spelling, as a boy who is LFA, yet has his heart entwined with the students and teachers, they understand his difference in sounds. So if the word Restaraunt comes up and the students are to privately write, he spells it out loud!

@bumtildeath no i think it would be more amazing if he saw a city once or twice and then did this line drawing with precision or something like that. I did a research paper on Savants not to long ago and he just doesnt fit the bill im sorry.

@Punkette151617 You think its just more amazing because he is extremely receptive, focused, routinized, and logistical?

@Punkette151617 That's the definition of a savant though, having certain abilities much higher than one's other abilities. The good abilities don't have to be outstanding, they just have to be highy surprising given general functioning.
