Kim Peek: The Real Rain Man 1/5

An amazing man with an amazing story. If more people knew of this man's perhaps we could erase all or most of the negative or pitied connotation of the word "savant" Part one of five.

Whoever votes anything less than 5/5 is an asshole.

It's gonna be a sad story when his father leaves him first for heaven.

to I am Canadian: i teach mentally and physically handicapped children. i don't think that kim would be able to answer your question in the way that you hope he would. his mind works in a way that (somewhat) detaches him from emotions/feelings. most savants and autistic people aren't "tapped in" to the ability to use and/or understand empathy and sympathy. hope that helps.

Its frustrating to see these douchbags asking him "What day of the week was April 15, 1245AD"? He has so much more capacity than for such stupid and trivial questions. You can tell he feels uncomfortable with these people prodding him like a circus amusement. In one video I even recall him stating rather sarcastically during one of those "whats the day" sessions "Oh wow look he can really do it"!
