Stephen Wiltshire is a savant who after a 45 minute helicopter ride over Rome was able to draw a 5.5 yard panoramic image of the aerial view. This is absolutely amazing and i can understand why his nickname is “the living camera”.

FYI: “Autistic Savant” defined:

 An autistic savant (historically described as idiot savant) is a person with both autism and Savant Syndrome. Savant Syndrome describes a person having both a severe developmental or mental handicap and extraordinary mental abilities not found in most people. The Savant Syndrome skills involve striking feats of memory and often include arithmetic calculation and sometimes unusual abilities in art or music.
