Watch this.

Stephen Wiltshire, an autistic man, is being challenged to draw a map of Rome. He is given fourty-five minutes to view the city from helicopter, and has to fill in five and a half yards of paper with a map.

I thought this was creepily cool. I've heard about people like this. There are people out there like him, with certain mental disabilities, but they have an amazingly accurate photographic memory. There were apparently some minor inaccuracies, but it's kind'a scary; he drew the coluseum so precisely that they compared it to a blueprint.

His sister also beleives that if he had been given more time, his drawing might have been more detailed and perhaps more accurate. She does have a point: drawing Rome in three days isn't exactly easy, even in three days.

I didn't make or upload this. It was taken from "Beautiful Minds: A Voyage into the Brain" by someone who goes by erg0n on YouTube.
