Beautiful Minds: Stephen Wiltshire

It is simply amazing what people can do. Stephen is autistic. His first words “pencil” and “paper” when he was 5 years old. Amazingly, when he was 11 he drew an unbelievably near perfect aerial view of London after one helicopter ride. He had only three days to complete the drawing.

Unreal. Something to be said about how we view “disability” as being without abilities. I think we should begin to label people as “reabled.”

Wow. Very well stated. People who are autistic probably should view us so-called normal people as “disabled.” I couldn’t remember five numbers after five minutes. Let alone remembering an entire infrastructure of a intricate such as London.
