When I first heard this son (which I love), I was reminded of a documentary I had seen about a guy named Daniel Tammet, an autistic savant who can perform amazing mathematical calculations in his head almost instantly. Unlike most savants Daniel is able to tell us how he does this. He SEES the numbers; as textures, shapes colours and even motions. These all go together, so that a calculation becomes a vast landscape in his mind. His favourite number/landscape? Pi, which he can "see" to 22 514 decimal places!!
"Oh he love, he love, he love He does love his numbers"
