Do you have any unique "super powers" that most people can't do?

[@connielewis3623]

I have a type of synesthesia called Spatial Sequence Synesthesia but instead of the usual form where number lines take on a three dimensional perspective, I can see other categories like book genres or human emotions as a three dimensional form. For example, Jane Austen's witty social commentary is in a straight line in front of me while Kazu Ishigoru's darker and stranger works are left from Austen.

Hi Malika, I need to clarify something for you. That Kim Peek character may have a good memory, but unfortunately, that's all he has. He comprehends very little of what he reads. I don't doubt that he was a likeable guy, but he's all quantity and no quality.

[@stevenrich1819]

I knew Kim and his Dad Fran. I can remember having dinner with them at my parents home in Gig Harbor, WA. My father, a US history teacher would on several occasions, share interesting tidbits of various US History and specific events including the names of people accompanied by dates of incidents. He made it a point to correctly site the date but purposely share the incorrect day of the week. Kim would immediately correct him and add to the story. At the same gathering, Kim was looking though the local phone book. After examining nearly every page in what seemed but a few minutes, Fran would ask him as an example, “Who is listed on page 33, 29th from the top down”? As I opened the phone book and began looking for page 33, Kim shouted out the name, address and phone number. Eventually finding the information, I found that Kim was correct down to the zip code. He gave much of his time visiting schools and making public appearances sharing the story of his amazing abilities and life’s challenges dealing with his condition. After Barry Marrow received his Oscar for Rainman, Kim brought it for all of us to hold and take pictures, memorializing the event. It was truly an awesome experience for all of us to have known Kim and have him take time out of his busy schedule to share an evening with our family.

[@doyoureallycare5740]

Kim is clearly a psycho

[@Nargle19.]

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting him as well. I was there waitress at El Chico, Sherman, TX 75090. He asked if I would allow him to "Record personal information." It was absolutely wonderful. The entire experience. However, having had a few concussions myself, I was honest in telling him I might not be able to remember you but you will remember me and if and when God gives me back those memories, I will check on you. I believe we had met about 3 times. I found he and his father had passed before Corona, and simply was thankful to the person who put their gravesite and resting place in You-Tube so I could pray and have that location to look at.b

My son has Aspergers. He has watched the doco “Senna” (Ayrton.Senna) at least 50 times, he ended up speaking some Portuguese. But for me watching or hearing that doco that many times it made me fall in love with Senna and made me an F1 fan. He is only 9, he does remember everything, maybe that’s his gift?

[@simonn5651]

i had a friend years ago in school which suffered a severe head injury meaning his brain swelled beyond the skulls capacity to hold it ...after his operation he acted different and during medical tests here's what was found. as he put it.....his doctors said his brain was lit up like a Christmas tree and was super active almost constantly even when he was asleep , during this time although he could not speak other languages he could somehow understand exactly what was being said to him in nearly every language known he would in essence reply in English to any question ask of him in any language. on top of this his math knowledge was astounding and could solve ANY equation given to him in any form (also tested) in mere seconds , what was told to us is he was tested by a very knowledgeable math professor from a local college and never failed anything not even once and never struggled with any of it. it took a few weeks for the brain swelling to go down and various hospital treatments and operations but once the swelling receded enough to close up and repair the damage done to the skull this (for lack of a better word) ability slowly faded and eventually stopped but ontop of this his mental skills degraded as well (his normal mental skills and capacity) they said it could be one of two things or possibly both together the damage done to the brain during the injury and stress on the brain during expansion or extreme overuse of the brain since it is not supposed to be used in such a capacity (at least not yet he said) he had to leave school permanently since the decline on his brain and mental state where taking it's toll. the brain is an amazing biological machine but if you force it to do something it's not meant to be doing it can be detrimental as was found out here potentially.

I am a savant, even though I was born with hydrocephalus. Ever since I was in first grade, I could tell people what day of the week their next birthday would be on. It actually started as a typical mistake people make in early January when they write the old year on the check, instead of the new. (I've even caught myself doing that, too.) Anyway, my dad was the one I caught doing that, and I corrected him. Since then, he's called me his "walking calendar". On rare occasions, I can even tell people what day of the week they were born on.

The adopting mother of Leslie Lemke thought that her love caused his talent. I think it helped bring out what was already there.

[@Drew_Hurst]

Love is the key. What she did was extraordinarily compassionate and self-less. 'Caused' may not be technically correct but there are a half dozen similar words that are, facilitated, nurtured, encouraged etc. Before you argue it was not love, ask yourself, could I have loved him, could I have done it? If not, how can you argue against something you don't have the capacity to possess, thus don't have the capacity to really know about. I think she earned the right to say that either way. 💚🌞🙏

It's pretty clear that when certain areas of the brain do not function properly, other areas go to an extreme as a result, and this is probably why high level musicians are so often odd. You can't be a jack of all trades and hit next level, you almost have to become recluse and choose it, and forsake normality in the process.

[@triedbuttdied]

there are more possibilities, so your sort of conclusion, is one of many possible ones. so no one can make a nearly 100% conclusion from this, without much much more research or tests. you are guessing how a specific mechanism works in the most complex object in the known universe, without much information about the subject at all, you cant extrapolate with that. and the thing about people having a savant memorizing based ability is actually a quite of a ironic one. because the brain actually has a function which deletes memories, or sort of weakens them. so when it comes to memorizing based savants, their brains have literally forgotten how to forget. because their brain mechanism which deletes or weakens their memories, has like turned off. via a brain injury, or autistic people being born with it.

Hi Vikas, while it's true that Kim Peek's memory was extraordinary, it is my understanding that he was incapable of comprehending what he read. I believe there were major deficits in engaging in productive dialog as well. Can you shed any light on the veracity of this?

[@Vikasripleys]

@@dodgecrockett3474 Based on the facts and figures collected from various online sources, it seems easy to gather that Kim Peen was a savant of very considerable prominence. However, while the Savant had been autistic throughout his life, his behavior and facial expressions were quite different from others -- the fact became evident after watching a few videos of Kim on KZbin. However, there are likely no online sources currently to account for "he was incapable of comprehending things he had read already or deficits in engaging in productive dialogues", so I will tend to be speechless at this juncture. I finish by mentioning again that Kim's memory was too remarkable for any other person to have on this planet so far. He was an extraordinary and irreplaceable savant and is most likely to maintain the cachet and prominence forever.

@@dodgecrockett3474 From what i’ve come to understand about these situations, there’s one thing repeating itself amongst the affected individuals, their “skills” so to speak, do not come with the capacity to understand nor grasp the concept of mentioned skills, they’re not able to utilize them as they’re blissfully unaware of what or why, they’re not even asking those questions, let alone thinking them, they all seem to be enjoying doing/performing their works, astoundingly so.

[@dodgecrockett3474]

@@icefrom9959, I think you're right. Because Kim Peek's extraordinary abilities are accompanied by extraordinary deficits, he is especially vulnerable. In order to maintain a certain level of dignity, his father has been tasked with the job of reducing the possibility of exposure. Journalists are vetted and the public is kept at arm's length.

Only a small number of people in the world have the ability. Its basically a low level super power.

[@somanynamesilltrythis0180]

That's really impressive, especially because society was ready to throw them away for not having "social skills" come to find out that they are actually more talented than most people.

[@dodgecrockett3474]

SoManyNames, I'd like to know who this "society" person is. If we can uncover his identity, I'd love to interview him.

[@jamesfield2442]

This is fascinating.

[@mikelee8520]

That was a most amazing video.

[@kylekimberley5874]

The "calender calculating" that kept being referred to is actually Hyperthymesia.

[@tomitstube]

one of these days we'll be able to "tap" these "super powers" without the physical and mental down sides, and also be able to help those who have these "disorders".

[@mockinhbridjk5453]

I have autism and I am extremely smart in social studies and language arts sadly I'm not very good at math or science but I do my best and mange Cs in math and science. not only that I have the ability to predict things in which there's no way I could have known , I also have the ability to remember random facts that I Will most likely never use . My parents do say I don't give myself enough credit for math and science and that I'm to hard on my self because I always starve for perfection if something's fine it's not good if it's good it's not great and so on. I'm sorry if this sounds like bragging to anyone I don't mean to do anything like that.

It's amazing how talented people are with disabilities😌, I know my dad, little brother and I have disability❤️

[@juanarias6916]

What's your disability

[@HunterRodrigez]

yeah but at what cost ? most of these people may have interesting abilities as a result of their differently working brains, but most of them are also unable to live without being completely depended on others. And can you even begin to fathom how it must be like to have a brain that stores such an exorbitant amount of completely useless information like #1 ? fond memories, completely drowned out by what color the dress of the weather lady was on June 6 2006

[@cassandradube-savard5213]

Juan Arias I have Auditory Processing Disorder it mean: It is a condition that adversely affects how sound that travels unimpeded through the ear is processed or interpreted by the brain. Individuals with APD do not recognize subtle differences between sounds in words, even when the sounds are loud and clear enough to be heard. They can also find it difficult to tell where sounds are coming from, to make sense of the order of sounds, or to block out competing background noises.

[@cassandradube-savard5213]

My little brother has Mild Autism & my dad has ADHD. My husband has trouble reading as well so it's very interesting how they work differently but they sure are inspiring to me though(L)

Great video. Fascinating. Thanks for uploading for all of us to enjoy, and think about. The human brain, beyond comprehension !

[@Huskymax]

I felt at home watching this, I've had my IQ measured 4 times in the last 9 years and each time the result was 192 unfortunately I'm visually impaired with severe scoliosis and mild anxiety which has severely limited my success which further depresses me. I also get very annoyed at others for not being able to comprehend anything I can either in a basic capacity or at my level, I know of very few poeple who can so I'm now glad I've seen a group I can depend on for a chat.

[@RyukenXX]

Ocd perhaps but it is what makes you you. There is a burden side to every blessing and vice versa, but I'd be elated to have an acquaintance in a person like you. My IQ is more like half of yours tho

Agree he is amazing! Did you see his documentary? He meets the real Rain man, Kim Peek, in it. This guy too is amazing and can memorize calandar and weather of each day he has lived up to when he was very young. Incredible stuff! Link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoHchKFpqNGZjqs
