  • 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.

    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.

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've definitely experienced some of the things he's talked about, albeit to a lesser degree.

However, my skills are mainly linguistic, as I am quite adept at learning multiple languages. As of writing this, I've started studying over 50 languages and plan to continue on past 100 eventually.

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.

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

    I've experienced that if I don't "try" too hard to think about things, solutions come very easily, quickly and naturally. I can repeat patterns I've only briefly seen, as long as I just "go for it" instead of actively "trying" to remember it. Basically I have to not give myself time to second guess something that feels akin to an intuition.
    But it's super hard to allow that to happen consciously and let that state of mind flow, the moment you control or check your result, it's gone and the mind easily wanders and wants to be in control.
    I believe this guy has a natural ability to trust what is subconscious is telling him.

      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.

    The brain is a strange, magical piece of engineered wonder, that can do things beyond our imagination , that we don't even know yet. 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.

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.

      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. 💚
