British artist Stephen Wiltshire is known as the ‘human camera’ for being able to render images of entire cityscapes in uncanny detail after only viewing the real scenes once. Wiltshire’s abilities stem from his autism, but his pieces are no less stunning. Perhaps Wiltshire’s condition isn’t truly a disability, merely evidence that our species is still evolving.

totally agree…
there is lots of evidence to suggest that those who we consider moved our civilization ‘forward’ … like Einstein, VanGogh, davinci etc actually had forms fo autism.
These days, there is so much pressure to “normalise” kids with medication – it seems sad that we are missing out on ‘all the Freaky people that make the beauty in the world’ !
