Brain Man: The Boy With The Incredible Brain
An extraordinary documentary on the brainpower of Daniel T, the young Englishman who could be the world’s greatest mental athlete. Daniel is not just a calculating wizard, but also a memory champion and super linguist.
He speaks nine languages. Daniel, the oldest of seven children, has been able to do amazing calculations after an epileptic fit when he was 3 years old. He was even able to remember over 22,000 numbers in a public display of his ability. But how does he do it? Leading scientists explore the extraordinary world of this real-life Rainman. Daniel’s psychological make-up is explored by Cambridge University autism expert Professor Simon Baron Cohen who delves into his childhood experiences in an effort to explain his remarkable abilities. In America Daniel meets other extraordinary people like himself, known as “savants” -- including Kim Peek, whose story was the basis of the movie “Rainman”. Brain scientists at the Salk Institute in San Diego, including Professor V S Ramachandra, are astounded at his skills and discover the key to Daniel’s ability is his visual imagery which his brain “sees” when he hears a number, this condition is known as synaesthesia. To show it’s not just numbers Daniel can remember -- he also learns one of the world’s hardest languages, Icelandic, in just one week -- and gets interviewed on Icelandic TV after only 7 days of learning to speak it.

    Both my parents were truly gifted. My mom had an eidetic memory and my father had a photographic memory. My mom could speak 4 languages and could read and write Latin before she learned English at age 19. My father would read books by scrolling his finger down the page on both pages and then my mother would take the book and turn it to a random page and say like page 257 second paragraph…. My father would recite word for word of that paragraph. My older sister can write ambidextrous, simultaneously, mirror image of anything she hears spontaneously. She too remembers everything she’s ever read. I’m like: “I can count to three!”

    My son is 4 years old, he was diagnosed in October 2023, he's autisitc. He's also speech delayed. My boy can count to 100, without having to think which number comes next, he is now going past 100. He can spell over 50 words. The longest being 12 letters. He can write in sentences. Knows all of his colors and can spell them. Once he hears it or sees it, its in his mind and he doesnt forget. I can say a word that i haven't shown and he can spell it correctly. I believe my boy is gifted, i don't know the level of gifted but compared to most 4 year olds i have met, he's above the average.

    The incredible thing is that Daniel is able to clearly articulate what he sees, feels and experiences. The fact that he can relate to other people, interact with them and share a joke makes him quite unique. Especially considering his early school years, where he preferred to be alone, immersed in numbers and patterns. As an educator, I find this fascinating. I wonder what he is doing now? I hope life has been good to him.

    To think in another aspect, a lot of them are struggling with not being able to communicate properly. This problem ( or sometimes considered gifts but are very rare) is genetic and if people suffer more than profit from it, scientists should work on how to make their lives better because some of them still want to be normal even it means losing their “gifts”

Also a huge fascination with animals of all kind ... Particularly horses (I love horses)... I have a weird way of remembering places (locations) and people. Like having a map inside my head. I'm terrible with numbers though... But very artistic.... Never been diagnosed autistic but have had teachers think I possibly was. Not sure though.

Imagine the loneliness of being one-of-a-kind, and now, he meets a fellow who shares the simple understanding of how it feels to be massively gifted in ways marvelous to others.

    I knew a girl like this that was crazy. I had a huge crush on her and tried asking her out many times but her social skills made it confusing. We were in a band together, her talent was with noise, she said she saw sounds and couldn’t hear them. When you would talk to her she would stare through you and would take 5-10 seconds to respond, she said when you talked she would have to read the words you say in her head, which is why she responded slow. Where it made her insane talented was with instruments, she could pick up literally any instrument, watch someone play it for a few min and then she instantly could play it amazingly. A week of practice on a brand new instrument and she would be at legit professional levels in about a week. And she was so cute too

If she could mimic stuff.....WHOA, thats another can of crazy things she could do, imagine how great your life would be, imagine how horrible it would be.

    It is about this society: get better, be something ... and when you are something from the beginning, it appears "unfair" to the others and some of them will try to destroy you... personal experience. Extraordinary people usually have hard times, especially during childhood, but more often even beyond. I have recently seen a video about Albert Enistein, the greates genius of all times. He not only invented theory of general relativity, he also gave birth to quantum mechanics thanks to his photo-electric effect (and he got Nobel price for it, not for relativity). What about saints? Look into history, we have killed them all because they were special. These days, we bully those genuises. It is a shame.

    Einstein revealed to us that gravity is topography, and that space and time are part of a topography. Physics begins to see mass and energy as a topography of probability waves. Even philosophy is moving towards topography. And this guy... he may be actually *seeing* the topography. Seeing it so clearly that he can squish the terrains together or pull them apart and read every detail of how they effect each other. So there's some context, perhaps, for what he's donig: If we're all in Plato's cave seeing the shadows of reality dancing on the wall, he may be able to look at reality directly. The word 'rock' is not an actual rock, obviously. It's a written or verbal symbol of a rock, a metaphor, part of a language, and that language is a topography of symbols for reality. We can use it to describe reality, or fictional fantasies. Similarly, our mathematics is a language. The symbol 2 is not actually two. It's our symbol for two. And we can use our language of symbols to calculate reality using math, just as we can describe using language. The languages are not the reality, just landscapes of metaphor, through which we can describe and analyze reality by proxy. But this guy seems to be looking, in his mind, directly at the reality. But I suppose it could just be his own personal synesthetic symbolic language. There's a way to test that; it would not render absolute proof, but it would lend a lot of weight to the idea. But you'd need another guy who can do the same thing. Then you just find out if they see the same shape for the same number. If the shapes (molded out of clay) are different for each Savant, they are very useful personal languages that make calculating reality much easier and visual. If, on the other hand, they are the same, they are looking at something far more fundamental and impersonal: reality itself, I guess, something along those lines.

    My husband and I came out of a restaurant very late one night and saw a man hesitating on the curb across a busy road. We drove over to the parking lot of the building, which was an all night dental clinic. The man, Don, was coming out. We took him back in and the dentist said he wanted all his teeth removed, but they were fine. My husband started talking to Don and noticed he talked like Rain Man. It turns out that he was in Columbus Ohio (from Toledo) for the State Special Olympics at the Ohio State University. (My husband saw a card with a number hanging from his neck) He walked off at about 2:30 pm and up the main drag, High Street. We saw him about midnight, maybe 10 miles away from campus. We got in touch with security on campus. They were going frantic. They came up to get him but in a paddy wagon. Don was scared, so my husband went with him. He said during the drive Don could recite all kinds of things about the different stores and businesses he had stopped into on his walk. He asked where we were from. When my husband said I was from near Hershey PA. he said, "Old man Hershey was very anti-Catholic" like everybody knew that. His brother called to thank us for "rescuing" Don. He said Don was a normal kid, going to college and had had a brain aneurysm. I don't know if he could do math or languages, but his memory was amazing!

He can remember what we did, what was said, the weather and what we ate out of the blue he will tell s story about a day in the far past and we have a family of 6 and one of us can usually verify a part or two of his recounting. He was challenging in his teens and early 20's. But for about 15 yrs now, he has been an absolute pure joy for his father and I. I wish everyone could know him. He is sweet, funny and complete love. I feel very blessed. I was so attached to the movie Rainman even before we knew he had special abilities. As I get on in age, he is my memory. Because ironically mine is getting worse and worse in the short term. I'm fine with long term. Life is awesome!!!! I;ll always have someone who loves me. Lol 😂

    My baby girl was delivered by emergency c-section three months ago today after being starved of oxygen when I suffered a placental abruption and the hospital and the ambulance service between them left me almost three hours before attending to me. She was born with no heartbeat and all in all took twenty minutes to revive and was still completely unresponsive and suffered seizures on her first day of life. She spent 9 days in intensive care after being on a ventilator and having induced hypothermia treatment to preserve her brain cells. She seems to be developing well, but cries an awful lot and won't be without me. If she isn't nursing she's screaming for me. There are concerns about high muscle tone which could be a sign of cerebral palsy. Now it's just a waiting game to find out how much of our daughter is left after her brain injury. While I'd be lying if I said I wasn't still hoping for my little girl to be normal. If she does have lasting brain injury however, I hope whatever has been taken from her, she's been given as much of something else in return like your son. 💚

Im 57, i couldn't draw a stick man if my life depended on it when i was younger. I wasn't artistic at all. My mom would put my pictures on the fridge backwards. About 20 something years ago, i fell off my mountain bike after crashing into a telephone pole or vice/versa, woke up in the hospital not knowing what happened. Doctors said good thing i had a helmet on or i would of been a lot worse or dead. My helmet had a big crack in it from the crash. Long story short, i started drawing after that. Every where i looked i was seeing the beauty in things and drawing them. I started making things masks, native arts ,wicker,wood,metal my mind was seeing whats inside of these materials and saying make this. Some days its over whelming ,i get so many idea,s in my head it hurts. So all im saying is , was it from the bang on the head or something else, i dont know, but im okay with it. M.
