Stephen Wiltshire draws Rome from memory

Stephen Wiltshire is a British man who was diagnosed as autistic when he was a child. He's also been noted for his exacting memory, which allows him to recreate [in drawings] vast scenes he sees only once. This video shows his 16-foot-panorama of Rome after taking one helicopter ride above the city.

It's nice and all that some people diagnosed with autism are not markedly different from neurotypical people. But, a lot of people are. Sugarcoating it does not do anyone any favors. Stephen does not have Aspergers; Aspergers is a whole different animal. When younger, he acted like most children with classic autism do, not as a high-functioning child. He was non-verbal, threw extreme temper tantrums, etc. I think that makes this all the more impressive.
