Accidental Genius





Accidents are not always bad. Most of them have negative effects in people, but there exist exceptions. By watching the video, I learned what savant is, which is a person whose ability level may be very low but excels in one exact subject. George is an example of a savant. His ability is very impressive for everyone, even for himself. George is able to say the day of the week of any year, even 2,000 years ago only by making all the calculations needed in his head.  He knows about this without even studying what day of the week was it 500 years ago for example. He is a genius. There was also Kim, who was a girl that could memorize 9 books at a time, when normally people can not even memorize one. She reads her book very quickly and ay read 200 pages or more in an hour. These people have something in common and is a brain injury. They are said to be victims of autism, but that makes them be accidentally genius, because they are very intelligent. Savant people are very smart, intelligent and genius!
