Born on a Blue Day
I heard a fascinating interview today while in the car on On Point Radio with Daniel Tammet who has a rare form of autism called savant syndrome. The interview can be heard here.
Daniel sees numbers and words as objects, they have shape and color. The title of his memoir "Born on a Blue Day" refers to the fact that he was born on a Wednesday which for him has a blue color. He described the shapes and colors of some numbers for the interviewer.
He needs order and can be overwhelmed by stimuli but feels it is important for him to work with researchers because he may be able to give them a window into helping those with autism.
I was encouraged by how articulate he was and the fact that he was able to encourage parents of kids with autism and Asperger's Syndrome.
Daniel has a website: www.optmnem.co.uk.
I think the On Point Radio interview is worth listening to.
