Hey all, just wanted to post this here. It's a five part documentary on "Mentally Disabled" savant Kim Peek...an incredible guy.
The other four parts are listed under the first video. It takes about an hour to get through them, but well worth it.

The second video is on a brain damaged man named Alonzo Clemens, a man with a photographic memory for sculpting animals.

My absolute favorite is an autistic savant named Stephen (Steven?) Wilshire from England who photographically memorizes an aerial view of Rome and reproduces it from memory on five yards of paper in three days to the smallest detail.
