Autistic people have been known to be able to access more parts of their brain than others, no idea how they do it. It is pretty cool though.

Although aren't other parts of the brain turned off, i.e being able to have or control emotions? Still rather facinating.

edit- what are these new 'Trackback' post options?

Yeah, but then people do (with alot of help) get past it, but then have access to the extra parts of their brain. It IS pretty funky to look into (at what they can do) - It's just too bad most of the time they've got something physically or emotionally wrong with them. (Just confirming)

Actually i believe this is the same reason why little alcohol can better your "doing stuff"(involves a lot), removes the fears and all.

Most people can draw like a bunnyrabbit on drugs, but one part is the inhibition to do it because it doesn't look good.

how talented is that guy.

We had an autistic boy in our school, he was quiet of course, but he was insane at remembering facts and figures.

lol no i wasn't flaming him. What i meant by the "so much more to acheive" comment was that the limits of the human body are obviously nowhere near reached yet, and there's still so many ways to improve ourselves.

Stephen Wiltshire is one of the few people diagnosed with the "savant" syndrome. They have incredible brainpower, but lack social skills. It's most of the time associated with a form of autism.

Check these videos for more savantism:

Danielle Tamet: The boy with the incredible brain documentary by BBC.
He can learn a new language in 1 week and has incredible mathematical skills. During the documentary he also meets the real Rain Man

This guy makes perfect sculptures of animals with clay in a few minutes:
