KIM PEEK WAS NOT AUTISTIC.

Kyosuke: KIM PEEK WAS NOT AUTISTIC.

I just want to know, once and for all, if he was in fact a very good driver.

"Inspired the movie Rain Man"? Wasn't the whole Idiot Savant aspect a pretty late addition to the plot, i.e. it was supposed to go full retard in the beginning?

Why did Tiger have to kill Kim Peek? I get why he had Brittany Murphy and Chris Henry removed. But Kim Peek? Someone needs to stop him and stop him now.

This guy was an "idiot savant" who could remember every detail of his life, everything he ever read, and could calculate almost anything in his head. Truly an amazing mind.

/DNRTFA - My mind is lazy at this time of night.

An MRI later showed that his brain lacked a corpus callosum -- the connecting tissue between the left and right hemispheres. Peek said his son's brain lacked the normal filtering system for receiving information. The condition left him able to retain nearly 98 percent of everything he read, heard or watched on television. The average person only retains about 45 percent.

Weird. The brain is certainly an interesting thing. [says my brain] [It's not all about YOU, you know] [oh, but it IS]

Fun fact: Kim was hired as an animation director earlier this year by an eccentric Salt Lake millionaire. He performed poorly, as anyone but an eccentric Salt Lake millionaire could have predicted.

That could get really depressing after a while. When I think about all the things I've seen, heard and done that I already wish I could forget...I don't even want to know the stuff I've mercifully forgotten.

Saw something with him in it. Seemed like a nice enough fellow. RIP.

Kidding aside, this IS a cool story, bro. I loved this part:

The movie's popularity forced Peek to break out of his shell. He spent the next 21 years traveling the world mesmerizing audiences with his mental abilities. He has spoken to more than 64 million people and traveled nearly 3 million air miles, his father said. There have been 2,800 newspaper and magazine articles and 22 documentaries about Peek and his extraordinary capabilities.

While he always amazed people with his ability to recite facts, Kim Peek always encouraged his audiences to recognize and respect differences and treat others like they would want to be treated, said his father.


RIP
