Daniel Tammet is a London born autistic savant. Early on Tammet experienced seizures and abnormal behavior but received a standard education despite this. Tammet loved to read at a young age and was able to matriculate by the mere age of sixteen. Tammet was not diagnosed with autistic savant syndrome until he was the age of twenty five. Tammet gained recognition after he recited the mathematical constant pi all from memory to 22,514 decimal places without one error. Tammet is also capable of doing calculations up to 100 decimal places...in his head and even learn a new language in as little as a week. Tammet is also the proud author of three books all of which has been on bestseller lists around the world. Here I have posted a documentary that was filmed about Tammet's life and talents. This is another pretty long video but a very interesting one about a very interesting and gifted man! Thanks for reading!
cool!
