Beautiful Minds: Stephen Wiltshire

Back


Stephen Wiltshire from London is a star among savants. Stephen is autistic. He did not speak his first words "pencil" and "paper" until he was 5. Yet, when he was 11 he drew a perfect aerial view of London after only one helicopter ride. For this film we're testing the "Living camera" in Rome. (ColourField production)

._. WHOAOAOA!!!
Aw, AWESOME job, Stephen! ^^ But they seriously shouldn't have gave him a time limit... But I think it's great they asked him to try this, because his talents will be recognized. =D

I don't think that they should make him do it with a limit, or at all. If a piano player loves their instrument they aren't going to want to be like performing monkeys. No, they would rather just be playing piano then undergoing the stress of practicing for a recital. And who knows of a famous work of art that was completed in three days? But I must say, this is amazing.

Why a three day limit? That was stupid. That is a lot of drawing for three days, why exhaust him, esp. if it is true that MORE detail could have been added with more time???

After reading all 280 comments,I have to wonder what the negative posters WITHOUT autism have achieved in their lives.
