<b>A journey into one of the most fascinating minds alive today--guided by the owner himself.</b> <p/>Bestselling author Daniel Tammet (<i>Thinking in Numbers</i>) is virtually unique among people who have severe autistic disorders in that he is capable of living a fully independent life and able to explain what is happening inside his head. <p/> He 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 <i>Rain Man</i>. <p/> Fascinating and inspiring, <i>Born on a Blue Day</i> explores what it's like to be special and gives us an insight into what makes us all human--our minds.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Daniel Tammet<br><b>Publisher:</b> Free Press<br><b>Published:</b> 10/16/2007<br><b>Pages:</b> 256<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.52lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.44h x 5.72w x 0.65d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781416549017<br><b>Age Range:</b> 19<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 7.9<br><b>Point Value:</b> 13<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>120721 / Born on a Blue Day<br><br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Entertainment Weekly</i> 10/26/2007 pg. 71<br><i>Peopl
