One of my all time favorite artists in Stephen Wiltshire. He was born autistic but has an amazing ability to draw realistic representations of buildings or cityscapes that he has only seen ONCE. He didn't learn to speak until he was nine. Thankfully a teacher saw his talent and steered him towards a career in art. His work is truly amazing. One of his books 'Floating Cities' covers the art he drew after touring through the capitals of Europe when he was 12. He is a true savant.
