Wow. I wouldn't call him the black Rainman but yes, that's impressive. I'm convinced that many mentally 'handicapped' people are actually the ones on a higher level and we aren't able to attain the ability of communicating with them. Just because we're the majority doesn't mean we're the farther developed.

You meet some of these guys and their raw mental power is sometimes astounding ... just housed in a less attractive body sometimes.
