This Is Amazing

I can't believe I have never heard of Stephen Wiltshire prior to today, but I am glad I have now. Stephen is autistic and was mute until the age of 3. At that time his parents sent him to a special school in the UK. Before long his teachers got him speaking and then they discovered that Stephen has a truly remarkable ability. He can look at a city or a building just for a brief moment and then recreate everything about that building or city right down to the number of floors it has and the number of windows. He has traveled all over the world creating these cityscape's and right now he is completing his 8th and what he says final one - New York City.

CBS profiled Stephen this morning and you can watch that report below. If you have the time, you can scroll down a little further and watch him recreating the New York cityscape live. A truly incredible talent.
