What if the world of the author suddenly became the normal world you and I had to live in? Would we be all savants? Would we be diagnosed with this rare neurological condition called synesthesia? On the plus side, we would have a huge brain capable of memorizing pi to more than 22,000 places. Enter the world of Daniel Tammet in this book titled Born on a Blue Day. This is the memoir written by a high-functioning autistic young man. I heard about him on NPR for the first time. Then, I decided to read more about him. He was on a book tour in the US. After hearing him speak and reading parts of his book, I start questioning whether the brainy folks we have come to know can compete with him. How will Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Nobel laureates and the Googlers do? Like Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man, Daniel is part of a handful of autistic savants. He is good in language and numbers. He perceives numbers and letters as shapes and colors. He is a very sensitive person who tries to block out anything else. He has such a great facility with languages. He is also well-traveled. He comes to give hope to parents of autistic children everywhere. On NPR, he answered questions that parents posed to him. Many people could identify with some of his examples.
