Quite an amazing talent
A young autistic savant sees Rome the first and only time from a
helicopter, and over the next 3 days proceeds to draw a panorama of
the city in fantastically accurate detail, as if his mind recorded the
city during his ride.

Amazing! Did anyone see the programme last year about the musical savant, blind, playing the piano?
It was utterly amazing, not only could he play any piece of music after hearing it only once, but he also improvise it into any other style.
Just shows how much potential is locked up in the human brain.

good find 
the guy must have an incredible depth perception and memory to do that..obviously the autisim has manifested itself in that manner with him, but the sheer patience and attention to detail is just breath-taking.
I mean i can draw and all, but faced with a big canvas like that, I would have been tempted to draw a large pair of breasts instead
