    EXAMPLES

    �

    Dustin Hoffman's portrayal of "Rainman" is a classic example of the obsessive statistician and fact-gatherer. People with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (and Asperger's Syndrome) would appear to have an excessively developed logical intelligence combined with under-developed personal intelligence(s).

    Jedediah Buxton was able to work out complicated mental computations (such as 2139 = approx 726 thousand million million million million million), sometimes taking months, without upsetting his normal routines.

    �

    Paul Erd

    �s was a brilliant mathematician - but depended on others for his domestic arrangements and never learned how to drive.

    Einstein (physician & mathematician).

    BRAIN STUFF

    �

    Mathematical calculation and logical reasoning skills utilise more of the brain than any other activity, with a preference for the left parietal lobes, the temporal and occipital lobes and the association cortexes situated at the back of the brain.

    �

    Individuals with Gerstmann syndrome have considerable difficulty with basic arithmetic (as well as with recognising their fingers and distinguishing left from right).

    �

    The (adult) twins John and Michael (reported by Oliver Sacks) were able to memorise a 300-digit number after a single hearing. Additionally, they had a remarkable facility for calendrical calculation (being able to state on what day a particular date occurs). They were observed by Sacks playing a kind of game based on identifying prime numbers - which could be 15 digits in length.
