TheHaze Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 That's too bad. Two of the most intelligent people I've ever met are autistic. One guy can seriously recite the lyrics of every rock song ever written. The other worked at Chase when I was there and he knew EVERYTHING about history of the world. You could name any speech from any world leader and he could speak it word-for-word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has piles of notebooks with every news report he has watched. He also writes down everything on wheel of fortune and he drew a map of all of Marion county from memory. It is incredible.

Mark1647545493 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 He would read 8 books a day, read a page in 10 seconds and could read two pages at once. Right eye reading the right page and left eye reading the left page.... Now that is simply amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble Maker Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Doug Billings: Either way, you gotta be super smart to count cards, buddy, okay? Alan Garner: Oh really? Doug Billings: It's not easy. Alan Garner: Okay, well maybe we should tell that to Rain Man, because he practically bankrupted a casino, and he was a ri-tard. Stu Price: A what? Alan Garner: He was a ri-tard. Doug Billings: [pauses to figure out what Alan was saying] *RE*tard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
