brain disorders

This post was due last week, but I'm posting it now with high hopes that I will get credit from Mr. Dreier so let's hope he's in a good mood at this moment. I only got to see the brain disorders that were presented on Thursday but a certain brain disorder caught my attention which was savant syndrome. Ironically enough, I met a savant on Friday when I was visiting Oshkosh. The guy was quite old and he was a professor at the university. He wasn't as special as the class examples we heard about, but his memory was by and far above average. One of the guys that I was with asked the professor if he remembered the day that they met, and the professor rattled off the exact date. He wasn't special enough to remember the weather or anything like that, but it was still pretty spectacular to witness something like that where the man could just remember the exact day off the top of his head. This disorder intrigued me so I set out to find more information on it. After looking it up online for a bit, I read many peoples opinions and some people think that almost everybody is born with the abilities of a person with savant syndrome. I think that there's some truth to that because everybody probably has the ability to find that inner ability of the savant syndrome, we just don't spend our time trying to accomplish it. That's all I got. "outskies for now!!!"
