(Shameless self-plug) For more on Daniel Tammet, check out my sift of a documentary on him.
Does anyone else find it really interesting that he's gay? Don't think I've ever heard anything at all about the sexual orientation of any autistic people (even high-functioning ones) with the possible exception of Einsten, who some people believe may have had Asperger's syndrome...
as for his sexual orientation ... i don't find that too interesting. the savant that i worked with had a fascination with all things sexual and explored himself (with and without objects and/or other people) to the nth degree (no pun intended
They're both very similar, the only difference is the UK version has a British voice-over. I personally much prefer the British version, though I do have both.
If you'd like a copy, email me at tranceriver@gmail.com and I'd love to work something out.
Cheers,
Mike
Pretty interesting... this guy perceives numbers as shapes and colors. Now, I cant see through your eyes, but I have a pretty good feeling for what its like for you to perceive the color red. Those things that make red chosen for stop signs, stop lights, warnings, sports cars etc. He said there were like 25 other savants, I wonder how many perceive numbers like this, and if they all would say that David Letterman reminded them of the number 117.
