This week’s documentary in the Extraordinary People series is about Stephen Wiltshire. In the programme, we see Stephen’s panoramic drawing of the centre of London. It’s four meters long, and it’s remarkable. All the building are in the right place. And every detail is correct. The number of floors in the tall building is correct, too. But the most incredible about the drawing is that Stephen drew it from memory, without photos or notes.
Stephen’s story is remarkable, too. When he was three, doctors discovered that he was autistic. He couldn’t speak, and he was often frustrated and angry. His parents saw that he was only happy with a pencil in his hand. His talent became obvious at the age of six when he drew a picture of Selfridges, the famous department store.
At his school for special needs children, they used his love of drawing to help him speak. His teacher took away his paper. ‘Paper!’ he shouted. It was his first word.
