That is absolutely phenominal. Wow. I was watching a show on channel 16 a while ago, (maybe a month) and there was an autistic boy who communicated in pictures. He drew at a savant level. By the age of two he could acurately portray what he was feeling or wanted though pictures he had drawn. His mother was told to deter him from this though as it would hinder his ability to learn how to speak. She didn't listen to the doctors, and by the age of (I believe it was ) 8 he was saying some words and still drawing at genius level. It's just so amazing what some people are capable of.
