Description
On the outside, they seem like inaccessible geniuses. And on the inside? Daniel Tammet can do what very few can on the planet. He can learn a foreign language in a week. He can recite thousands of digits of pi from memory and almost automatically solve complex mathematical operations. And he lives with synesthesia — he perceives numbers as colors and vice versa. However, his life path is far from mathematical clarity. Exceptionalism often means misunderstanding and loneliness, mockery, and sometimes even bullying. Born on a Blue Day is an autobiographical account of the childhood and adolescence of an extraordinarily intelligent boy with Asperger's syndrome, a genius for whom ordinary everyday situations are often an unsolvable mystery. This global bestseller, translated into nearly twenty languages, is a story about the unique experiences of a sensitive boy and the society that surrounds him and simultaneously shapes him with its demands and expectations.
