I am currently reading a book titled The Autistic Brain by an animal biologist named Temple Grandin. She is also autistic.

I haven’t yet finished the book (on chapter 3 still), but I’ve learned that for some people with autism, genes cause developmental anomalies. Particularly, brain functionality is short in some areas, and spectacularly abundant in others. I guess those with photographic memory and good recall is one of those serendipitous gifts.

Temple Grandin also has this ability to draw detailed images from her head. She even has a diagram in her book showing an MRI scan of her own brain with the enlarged neuropathways largely responsible for that talent.

So frickin’ interesting!
