Subject: Totally amazing!

Steven Wiltshire,an autistic artist,is known for his drawings of buildings and has an audience of millions. He draws them completely from memory with astonishing accuracy. He cant do math but if there are 145 windows in a building he will reproduce exactly 145 windows. He has had this skill ever since he was a young child. Watch in amazement as he takes a helicopter ride–constantly changing and no longer than a few minutes. Then on the ground 3 hours later and from memory,he has produced an exact copy drawn to perspective and scale of 4 square miles,with 12 major landmarks and 200 other buildings!!

I can recall television programs featuring him from the 1980s.
Now Stephen Wiltshire MBE, was in 2006, made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to art. In the same year, he opened a permanent gallery on the Royal Opera Arcade in London.

He made a great impression on us back then, and I have always wondered where he is now.
