Born On A Blue Day

Inside The Extraordinary Mind Of An Autistic Savant

BY DANIEL TAMMET
Daniel Tammet has severe autism but can live an independent life. He sees numbers as shapes, colors, and textures, and he can perform extraordinary calculations in his head, speak new languages fluently, from scratch, in a week. In 2004, he memorized and recited more than 22,000 digits of pi, setting a record. He has savant syndrome, an extremely rare condition that gives him the most unimaginable mental powers, much like those portrayed by Dustin Hoffman in the film Rain Man.
