Peeking Inside a Singular Mind: Autistic Savant

This is the title of an article in the current issue of the New Scientist.
"Autistic savant Daniel Tammet shot to fame when he set a European record for the number of digits of pi he recited from memory (22,514). For afters, he learned Icelandic in a week. But unlike many savants, he's able to tell us how he does it. We could all unleqash extraordinary mental abilities by getting inside the savant mind." He tells Celeste Biever how he does it--definitely worth reading!
