An 11-year-old boy drew world map from memory


A reddit user bobitis described last week that an 11-year-old walked into his daughter's college lecture and drew this incredible map on the whiteboard completely by memory. 

The strange detailed diagram doesn't just represent the overall shape of the continents in mind-blowing detail, it also shows the political divides of modern countries and includes those little frozen islands up in the Arctic Circle.

Autism is a complex and poorly-understood disorder that can make it very difficult for people to communicate and socialize with others, but it can sometimes emphasize these individuals’ other strengths and talents as well. 

A professor in New York whose 11-year-old son has autism recently invited him to her class, where he got up on a chair and drew a detailed, accurate map of the world completely from memory.

One of her students took photos of the extraordinary feat, and her father posted them on Reddit.
