When a parent brings their child into a class meant for adults, they”re often seen as a hassle or distraction. After all, one can never expect what an impatient child is capable of in the strict environment of a classroom. Yet when one professor brought her autistic 11-year-old son to class, he did something so unexpected and wonderful, all while demonstrating an amazing talent.
The 11-year-old boy drew an extremely detailed map of the world from memory.
He even labeled most of the countries.
The average person can barely name all 50 states, yet this boy drew the entire world.

This amazing skill set will definitely come in handy in his life. Perhaps he could get a job as a cartographer and make a fortune with equally detailed maps. No matter how you slice it, the vast majority of artists could never replicate this talent in their lives, so kudos to this kid!
