He's got a superb photographic memory with locations and an ability for navigation. He can retrace every turn taken and return to the start point wherever he's taken. He had that ability since birth.  He's quite accurate. Even when he's very young if I take a different road home he asks "Oya koheda yanne?"He knows every road in Singapore and BKK.... Not so much with Colombo Fort because he hates saree shops and avoids going there.Once in Vatican, I parked in one of the underground car parks just at the entrance to Vatican complex. I left the gate ticket in the car just in case I lose it. Only later I realised that after finishing the vatican tour, the exit is nowhere near the place we entered. I didn't have a clue, the parking ticket in the car and hence the car park name is unknown - there are so many car parks around. Anyway my wife took us in circles for nearly 45 mins and he was complaining that it's not where she's heading. But women are always right.....Eventually I told him, alright - you take the lead and he located it within a 20 min walk in another direction. He remembered some of the buildings and signboards near the car park.I have never tested his IQ level. He's pretty average and also pretty clever at a few things.PS: As to the question posed on the thread regarding Photographic memory and IQ...Say if we show 8 items or photos to many people, some of them will remember most of the items. Some of them will remember only two items but with more details on them, or rather with amazing clarity.Studies have shown that More items stored in short-term memory is linked to greater fluid intelligence , as measured in IQ tests.The human brain is truly amazing.It consists of about one billion neurons. Each neuron forms about 1,000 connections to other neurons, amounting to more than a trillion connections. If each neuron could only help store a single memory, running out of space would be a problem. Yet neurons combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time, exponentially increasing the brain’s memory storage capacity to something closer to around 2.5 petabytes (One petabyte is 1000 TB)</blockquote>
