I've seen something similar but the guy also had Autism. Nevertheless, it's an amazing and unique gift.

Just because you have autism doesn't mean you're going to be smart. He is probably an Autistic Savant, which means he has autism along with Savant Syndrome.

The sad thing, is that lately Autism is getting misdiagnosed just like ADD was back in the late 90's. This person clearly has it, but our younger generations are being diagnosed with Asperger's, when they actually might have something else.

Unreal. There used to be this busker guy in Belfast City Center many years ago who had memorised the whole Northern Ireland telephone directory. If you were listed and told him your name and address, where there was multiple entries for your name, he cou8ld tell you your telephone number. I was just a kid and remember being amazed at this....
