Fall 2007 Cultural Events series continues with an informal
conversation with Daniel Tammet on October 23, 2007. He is the author
of Born on a Blue Day: Inside the Extraordinary Mind of an
Autistic Savant and Born on a Blue Day: A Memoir of Asperger's
and an Extraordinary Mind.
Daniel Paul Tammet is a British high-functioning autistic
savant, gifted with a facility for mathematics problems, sequence memory,
and natural language learning. As one of the world’s high-functioning
autistic savants leading a relatively normal life, he offers incredible
insight
into the world of autism, Asperger’s syndrome and other severe
cognitive impairments. He challenges us to think about how society treats
those
who are different and what tolerance and understanding really mean.
In conjunction with this event, we have compiled a bibliography
consisting of books, journal artiles and websites on Daniel
Tammet, Asperger's syndrome, synesthesia and savant syndrome.
