You can follow his progress through the live webcam here.Wiltshire diagnosed with autism at the age of three displays an unusually powerful photographic memory that he has applied to rendering city scapes. He can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architecture.” - Design Boom (via scottnot, quelowat, gregenemy, theamazon, & maybeitsallok, amyyy:peterwknox:) Yes, he is incredible!
