Aspies For Freedom

Hi all,
BBC World Service have just broadcast a fascinating interview with Daniel Tammet:

yes it was fascinating, well worth listening too.  My son is very very good at maths even as a young child; you could give him a sum at the age of 6, (say for example 2379 + 1604) and he would add it together just like that!!  But when he realised it was drawing attention to him, he stopped and has never done it again, he is now 13.  He was also learning the piano and the same thing happened, when people wanted him too play and would say how good he was, he became very distressed when asked to practice, for now he no longer plays.
Thanks for sharing that it was good.
