aniel Tam met is a lingu1s_ticand mathemattcal genius. He speaks elevenlangoages 1 performs complex mental arithmetic:

D in seconds, and on 14 MaTch, 2004 publicly recited pi from memory to 22,514 dedmal places. lt took him five hours ~nd
nine minutes. Howev~r, since childh0od, des_pite hi.s phenomenal mental abilities, Daniel has struggled to learn the
peFsonal skills that most of us take f~r granted: communication, empatlly and the ability to see tbebig picture.

Daniel's &kills and limitations'ilre ~he res.ultuf Asperger',s syndrome, a form ofautism. He is a high-functi9ning autistic savant
who possesses similar a~ilities to those of the chaia£ter played by Dustin Hoffman in the film Rain Man.}j_ Tm lucky,' he ~ays~
'bec;;iuse most otheJswho have.rare abilities are also seriously disabled.'

Life is ~asier for Daniel now th(!t he is in his thirties, but growing up with autism was tough for him and his family. As a baby,
he usetl to cry constantly and only repetitive motion would stop him. ~ As a result, he never played with other children, or
indeed with toys. 'Numbers were my toys,' he says. \.

To him, numbers have colours, sh.apes, textures and personlilities. He has describep his visual image of :28~ as particularly
ugly, and 333 as partic1,1larly attractive. 3 is green, 5 sounds Like a clap of thunder <md 37 is Lumpy. This cross-connectioh
between unrelated senses is.known a-So synaesthesi(! and in Daniel's case it allows him tQ 'experience' numbers rather than .
calculate them. As he explains, 'When I multiply numbers together, I seeJ:wo shapes. The image startsto change and evolve,
arrd a third shape appears. That's the answer.' It was this uni(lue-abilitythat helped him to remember pi to so many decimal
pl~ces, back in 2004 ..Jf_ 'To me, Ttts asbeautiful'<lsthe Mona Lis.a,' he eJ<plains.

Daniel has many gifts often associated with a1,1tism. He can rnpy a picture so accurately
that it could have been traced, and he planned his autobiography Born on o Blue Day
withouttakin'g a sing-le note. Nevertheless, he is more aware of t he many t!Jings he
can't do. He knows, for instance, that tie is difficult to live with be ea use he cannot
understand what others are feeling. He admits that most of the time, he has to
pretend to show emotions. 4 4- He reveals that when his cat died, he cried and
unders'tood grieffor the first time. •

In 2.004, Dariiel met Kim Peek, the. savant on whom Rain Man was actually based.
Unlii<e Daniel, Pe3k, who passed away in 2009, was unable to manage daily life
indepehdently. 5.J.r_ 'We swapped facts and figures like .others swap gossip;' says
Tammet. With the help of his father, Peek t ravell.ed America .spreading the message
that difference is nQt necessarily a negative thing.

Like Peek, Daniel is putting his gifts to good use. He gives regular lectures, has written
three successful l:i?oks, and been th_e subject of numefous studies and d.ocumehtaries.
Much of his work involves helping scientists understand how the brain works. 'I used to
long to be Like other people,' he says. 'ButtheyteLL me that I have the same effoct on them
as Professor Stephen Hawking . That in the contradi<::tion betweef! ability and disability,
they see humanity.'
