      I have a type of synesthesia called Spatial Sequence Synesthesia but instead of the usual form where number lines take on a three dimensional perspective, I can see other categories like book genres or human emotions as a three dimensional form. For example, Jane Austen's witty social commentary is in a straight line in front of me while Kazu Ishigoru's darker and stranger works are left from Austen.

    I knew Kim and his Dad Fran. I can remember having dinner with them at my parents home in Gig Harbor, WA. My father, a US history teacher would on several occasions, share interesting tidbits of various US History and specific events including the names of people accompanied by dates of incidents. He made it a point to correctly site the date but purposely share the incorrect day of the week. Kim would immediately correct him and add to the story. At the same gathering, Kim was looking though the local phone book. After examining nearly every page in what seemed but a few minutes, Fran would ask him as an example, “Who is listed on page 33, 29th from the top down”? As I opened the phone book and began looking for page 33, Kim shouted out the name, address and phone number. Eventually finding the information, I found that Kim was correct down to the zip code. He gave much of his time visiting schools and making public appearances sharing the story of his amazing abilities and life’s challenges dealing with his condition. After Barry Marrow received his Oscar for Rainman, Kim brought it for all of us to hold and take pictures, memorializing the event. It was truly an awesome experience for all of us to have known Kim and have him take time out of his busy schedule to share an evening with our family.

It was absolutely wonderful. The entire experience. However, having had a few concussions myself, I was honest in telling him I might not be able to remember you but you will remember me and if and when God gives me back those memories, I will check on you. I believe we had met about 3 times. I found he and his father had passed before Corona, and simply was thankful to the person who put their gravesite and resting place in You-Tube so I could pray and have that location to look at.b

    My son has Aspergers. He has watched the doco “Senna” (Ayrton.Senna) at least 50 times, he ended up speaking some Portuguese. But for me watching or hearing that doco that many times it made me fall in love with Senna and made me an F1 fan. He is only 9, he does remember everything, maybe that’s his gift?

    i had a friend years ago in school which suffered a severe head injury meaning his brain swelled beyond the skulls capacity to hold it ...after his operation he acted different and during medical tests here's what was found.
    as he put it.....his doctors said his brain was lit up like a Christmas tree and was super active almost constantly even when he was asleep , during this time although he could not speak other languages he could somehow understand exactly what was being said to him in nearly every language known he would in essence reply in English to any question ask of him in any language.
    on top of this his math knowledge was astounding and could solve ANY equation given to him in any form (also tested) in mere seconds , what was told to us is he was tested by a very knowledgeable math professor from a local college and never failed anything not even once and never struggled with any of it.
    it took a few weeks for the brain swelling to go down and various hospital treatments and operations but once the swelling receded enough to close up and repair the damage done to the skull this (for lack of a better word) ability slowly faded and eventually stopped but ontop of this his mental skills degraded as well (his normal mental skills and capacity)
    they said it could be one of two things or possibly both together the damage done to the brain during the injury and stress on the brain during expansion or extreme overuse of the brain since it is not supposed to be used in such a capacity (at least not yet he said) he had to leave school permanently since the decline on his brain and mental state where taking it's toll.
    the brain is an amazing biological machine but if you force it to do something it's not meant to be doing it can be detrimental as was found out here potentially.

It actually started as a typical mistake people make in early January when they write the old year on the check, instead of the new. (I've even caught myself doing that, too.) Anyway, my dad was the one I caught doing that, and I corrected him. Since then, he's called me his "walking calendar". On rare occasions, I can even tell people what day of the week they were born on.

      Based on the facts and figures collected from various online sources, it seems easy to gather that Kim Peen was a savant of very considerable prominence. However, while the Savant had been autistic throughout his life, his behavior and facial expressions were quite different from others -- the fact became evident after watching a few videos of Kim on UA-cam.
      However, there are likely no online sources currently to account for "he was incapable of comprehending things he had read already or deficits in engaging in productive dialogues", so I will tend to be speechless at this juncture.
      I finish by mentioning again that Kim's memory was too remarkable for any other person to have on this planet so far. He was an extraordinary and irreplaceable savant and is most likely to maintain the cachet and prominence forever.

      Before you argue it was not love, ask yourself, could I have loved him, could I have done it? If not, how can you argue against something you don't have the capacity to possess, thus don't have the capacity to really know about.

      there are more possibilities, so your sort of conclusion, is one of many possible ones. so no one can make a nearly 100% conclusion from this, without much much more research or tests. you are guessing how a specific mechanism works in the most complex object in the known universe, without much information about the subject at all, you cant extrapolate with that. and the thing about people having a savant memorizing based ability is actually a quite of a ironic one. because the brain actually has a function which deletes memories, or sort of weakens them. so when it comes to memorizing based savants, their brains have literally forgotten how to forget. because their brain mechanism which deletes or weakens their memories, has like turned off. via a brain injury, or autistic people being born with it.

And they'd say "East Bumble" and he'd say, "East Bumble? There's a statue of the founder with him holding his sword in his right hand, but he's left handed...."
    It was really impressive and I heard him do that to four or five people in front of me. I come up, he asks my hometown, I tell him "Blairstown." He pauses, signs the book...and says, "Have a nice day."

Everything he does, he's good at. Plays guitar, bass, boulders(rock climbing) can do crazy math in his head. For all the great things, he's struggled with social things. He has come out of his shell that way though. He has a great group of male friends that know "he's different." It's taken years for people to understand he's different. He doesn't lie. Tells you like it is. I've raised he and his sister the same way but he has emotional difficulties at times. Gets "stuck in a loop" some call it. I'd talk about him all day if I thought anyone would be interested. Lol. He's always known he was different, but I've always told him "Different people run the world. Different people make humans progress. If people weren't different from eachother, no one would ever create anything new, nor would they try."
    I don't know if he's a savant. He's certainly a high functioning Aspie with some crazy abilities, though :)

    Im autistic but I'm not sure if I'm a savant. I have feelings that can comprehend with great detail. My greatest talent is self taught human psychology. People are amazed on how well I know who th hey are after talking to them for a 10 minutes. This is definitely unique to the degree I understand people

    My sister is a savant. She has a disorder that manifests as unforgiveness. She can remember everything done wrong to her her whole life.

    I bet the guy that was very badly beaten and could see equations, probably has something going on with his pineal gland. Those drawings are pretty similar to what a DMT trip looks like.

    Thank you kindly for the awesome video. I started crying at number 7. My name is Ray (LoL only my mom called me Raymond) and I kinda identify with the movie RainMan. Thank you kindly for this informative video. Oh, and it was kinda cool to learn about May Lemke. My sister's name is Mae, and my other sister's married name was Lemky. Thanks again for your time and effort in making this video!! God Bless you and have a great day and a wonderful life!!
