An extraordinary documentary on the brainpower of Daniel T, the young Englishman who could be the worldâs greatest mental athlete. Daniel is not just a calculating wizard, but also a memory champion and super linguist.
He speaks nine languages. Daniel, the oldest of seven children, has been able to do amazing calculations after an epileptic fit when he was 3 years old. He was even able to remember over 22,000 numbers in a public display of his ability. But how does he do it? Leading scientists explore the extraordinary world of this real-life Rainman. Danielâs psychological make-up is explored by Cambridge University autism expert Professor Simon Baron Cohen who delves into his childhood experiences in an effort to explain his remarkable abilities. In America Daniel meets other extraordinary people like himself, known as âsavantsâ -- including Kim Peek, whose story was the basis of the movie âRainmanâ. Brain scientists at the Salk Institute in San Diego, including Professor V S Ramachandra, are astounded at his skills and discover the key to Danielâs ability is his visual imagery which his brain âseesâ when he hears a number, this condition is known as synaesthesia. To show itâs not just numbers Daniel can remember -- he also learns one of the worldâs hardest languages, Icelandic, in just one week -- and gets interviewed on Icelandic TV after only 7 days of learning to speak it.

Both my parents were truly gifted. My mom had an eidetic memory and my father had a photographic memory. My mom could speak 4 languages and could read and write Latin before she learned English at age 19. My father would read books by scrolling his finger down the page on both pages and then my mother would take the book and turn it to a random page and say like page 257 second paragraphâŚ. My father would recite word for word of that paragraph.
My older sister can write ambidextrous, simultaneously, mirror image of anything she hears spontaneously. She too remembers everything sheâs ever read.
Iâm like: âI can count to three!â

For him to be this socially aware and articulate while also being able to flawlessly recite 5 hours of digits from memory is the most beautifully terrifying twists of genetics and brain chemistry I have ever seen

The incredible thing is that Daniel is able to clearly articulate what he sees, feels and experiences. The fact that he can relate to other people, interact with them and share a joke makes him quite unique. Especially considering his early school years, where he preferred to be alone, immersed in numbers and patterns. As an educator, I find this fascinating. I wonder what he is doing now? I hope life has been good to him.

My 6 year old grandson is autistic. By age 2 he could count to 100, knew all his colors and many animals. Now he speaks English, Tagalog, Ilonggo and Spanish. Sometimes he uses words from all languages in one sentence. While his social interactions is very limited he has an amazing mind!

I have this amazing ability that every time I try to multiply two large numbers I immediately fall asleep.

Our son was doing extensive math at 2. He was diagnosed with Autism at 3. He also did "writing in air." Today he is a Doctor.

Love Daniel, what a trooper to allow himself to be subjected to these tests and interrogations, especially when it makes him uncomfortable, I take my hat off to you sir live well Daniel !

Instead of spending years studying him, how about give him the resources to come up with something to help everyone, push our species forward. If he's got this great mind, let him go off in whatever direction he wants.

If any of you guys are wondering where's Dan now, he's gone up in the world. He does talks, writes books, and still inhumanly genius.

"one day you'll be as great as I am" how beautiful is it to say that Rain Man truly loves himself and thinks well of himself? I would love to have his self confidence.

What an amazing and humble man. The fact he even praises people who are basically chidren to him makes him 10x more likable. I'm glad he married and successful now. He deserves it.

I actually went to secondary school with Daniel in the 90s and sat next to him in maths class. Now, can you imagine how bloody difficult that was? I used to think I was utterly stupid when he finished the questions in seconds! This explains a lot!!

My son is 4 years old, he was diagnosed in October 2023, he's autisitc. He's also speech delayed. My boy can count to 100, without having to think which number comes next, he is now going past 100. He can spell over 50 words. The longest being 12 letters. He can write in sentences. Knows all of his colors and can spell them. Once he hears it or sees it, its in his mind and he doesnt forget. I can say a word that i haven't shown and he can spell it correctly. I believe my boy is advanced

I wish I could remember 1/4 of the things I learned over the years and forgot already. he is AMAZING!
