Autistic savant, Daniel Tammet, 31, was born with a superhuman gift…. his brain is one of the most extraordinary in the whole world. Tammet is a gifted linguist, speaking nine languages, including a language he created himself called Manti.
Tammet was diagnosed with a form of autism, called Asperger’s syndrome, makes him super obsessive and focused.
He’s also a mathematical genius, capable of solving difficult math calculations in the blink of an eye.
Tammet was born with the ability to experience numbers in an extraordinarily vivid way.
“The numbers are moving in my mind,” he says. “Sometimes they’re fast, sometimes they’re slow. Sometimes they’re dark. Sometimes they’re bright. That emotion, that motion, that texture will be highly memorable for me.”
The phenomenon is called synesthesia and David Tammet explains it on ABC 20/20.
