Early life[edit] Serling was born into a Jewish family in Syracuse, New York, the second of two sons born to Esther (née Cooper) and Samuel Lawrence Serling.[1] Serling's father had worked as a secretary and amateur inventor before having children, but took on his father-in-law's profession as a grocer in order to earn a steady income.[2] Sam Serling later took up the trade of butcher after the Great Depression forced the store to close.[3] Serling's mother was a homemaker.[4] Serling spent most of his youth seventy miles south of Syracuse in the city of Binghamton after his family moved there in 1926.[1] As a performer, he was encouraged by his parents from the start.
Sam Serling built a small stage in the basement, where Rod (with or without neighborhood children) often put on plays.[5] Rod's older brother, author Robert, recalled that at the age of six or seven, Serling entertained himself for hours by acting out dialogue from pulp magazines or movies he'd seen. Military service[edit] NewStuff. Daniel Tammet. Daniel Tammet FRSA (born 31 January 1979) is an English writer, essayist and autistic savant.
His best selling 2006 memoir, Born on a Blue Day, about his life with high-functioning autism and savant syndrome, was named a "Best Book for Young Adults" in 2008 by the American Library Association.[2] Tammet's second book, Embracing the Wide Sky, was described as one of France's best selling books of 2009 by L'Express magazine in its March 2010 edition.[3] Thinking in Numbers, Tammet's third book, was published by Hodder in the UK on 16 August 2012, and by Little, Brown in the United States and Canada on 30 July 2013. Tammet's books have been published in 20 languages.[4] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2012.[5] Early life and education[edit] Daniel Tammet Tammet was born Daniel Paul Corney[1] and raised in Barking, East London, England, the eldest of nine children.
Preferring travel to university, Tammet taught English for a year in Lithuania. Savantism[edit] Dave Blanchard. Kim Peek. Laurence Kim Peek (November 11, 1951 – December 19, 2009) was an American savant.
Known as a "megasavant",[1][2][3] he had an exceptional memory, but he also experienced social difficulties, possibly resulting from a developmental disability related to congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for the character of Raymond Babbitt, played by Dustin Hoffman in the movie Rain Man. Unlike Babbitt, who had autism, Peek probably also had FG syndrome.[4][5] Early life[edit] Peek did not walk until the age of four and then in a sidelong manner.[8] He could not button up his shirt and had difficulty with other ordinary motor skills, presumably due to his damaged cerebellum, which normally coordinates motor activities.
Rain Man[edit] In 1984, screenwriter Barry Morrow met Peek in Arlington, Texas; the result of the meeting was the 1988 movie Rain Man. Scientific investigation[edit] Eckhart tolle.
