Born On A Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an Autistic Savant

From autistic savant Daniel Tammet, a remarkable memoir that delves into his fascinating mind and “inspires even as it astonishes” (Entertainment Weekly). Daniel Tammet sees numbers as shapes, colors, and textures, and he can perform extraordinary calculations in his head. He can learn to 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. Fascinating and inspiring, Born on a Blue Day explores what it’s like to be special and gives us an insight into what makes us all human—our minds.
