These savants remind me of some spectrum of autism... remember the movie Rain Man?

This chap in the YouTube video is no where near Dustin Hoffman's character.

He speaks intelligently, no signs of him living in his own world.

It's all a matter of degree. Daniel has Aspergers.

What is amazing is that the West's ability to bring these people into their society and make the best of them. There are 3 oz brothers of HK Chinese origin. One is Maths professor in the US, the second works for Google in Sydney and the 3rd who is autistic works for OZ Defence Science Og ( their skunk works). Read about the Tao Brothers.
