Memory Man

Okay so this dude, Stephen Wiltshire is autistic which means CNN is obsessed with him so long as their month-long, "Autism: Unraveling the Mystery" special is on the air. Although Anderson Cooper could talk about flypaper and I'd be happy as a clam to sit in front of the TV all day, but I digress.

So as an experiment, a film crew took Mr. Wiltshire on a helicopter tour of Rome, and then asked him to draw it from memory.

He draws every building, street and landmark perfectly. He even managed to recall exactly what street the brooding yet complicated Italian man smoking a cigarette on a Vespa was on while the beautiful, lost American tourist asks for his help after popping a Mentos.
