The ability to calculate and memorize with profound speed and accuracy, yet buttoning a shirt was too much. That makes a LOT of sense. When I'm _truly thinking, _ using my brain, in a zone. tasks like buttoning a shirt are maybe 10x harder. I'll end up one button off and have to redo it, or get frustrated and grab a tshirt. Kim Peek, imo, must've been a man living in the zone, multiplied by a zillion. Couldn't be bothered with buttons because PRIORITIES! The brain prioritizes sometimes faster than we can perceive.
I used to work with people living with brain disorders and traumatic brain damage. I would've liked to have met Peek. It's rare to see a disorder become a talent. Disabilities involving the brain are usually just that: dis-abilities. Relatively speaking, most people who have these kinds of brain-health issues often struggle with things even as simple as recall.

I can read a line on a page from both ends working towards the middle.
Example the above line would read like:
I middle. can the read towards a working line ends on both a from page
It doesnt make much sense but it's entertaining. I can also read and write backwards and upside down.

He was a glimpse into the potential power of the human brain. In thousands of years we could evolve into him but without the developmental deficits he faced.

One day, it will be possible to alter fetuses so that everyone is capable of these things but also socially functioning. Scary stuff

I remember meeting Mr Peek when I was a kid, 6 or 7. I wish I'd met him when I was older and could understand him better.
