Take a short chopper ride, then draw the entire city skyline from memory. This guy's amazing.

Stephen Wiltshire is an artist who draws and paints detailed cityscapes. He has a particular talent for drawing lifelike, accurate representations of cities, sometimes after having only observed them briefly. He was awarded an MBE for services to the art world in 2006. He studied Fine Art at City & Guilds Art College. His work is popular all over the world, and is held in a number of important collections.

Stephen was born in London to West Indian parents on 24th April, 1974. As a child he was mute, and did not relate to other people. Aged three, he was diagnosed as autistic. He had no language and lived entirely in his own world.

At the age of five, Stephen was sent to Queensmill School in London, where it was noticed that the only pastime he enjoyed was drawing. It soon became apparent he communicated with the world through the language of drawing; first animals, then London buses, and finally buildings. These drawings show a masterful perspective, a whimsical line, and reveal a natural innate artistry.

1. The brain is an amazing mystery.

2. Perfect example of "differently abled"...

... I know a teenager who is mildly underperforming mentally or perhaps autistic-spectrum, whatever the labels get tedious. He had to struggle to learn to do basic reading and math.

But if he rides in a car with you to anywhere, he can, months later tell you exactly how to retrace your trip.

The brain is just a fascinating and multi-faceted think that we only begin to understand !!
