I also watched an extremely interesting documentary on an autistic artist called Stephen Wiltshire. He always struggled with communication throughout childhood and at some point when he was about 5 years old he started drawing and soon realised he had a spectacular talent. His photographic memory enables him to look at something for about 5-10 mins and then draw it to an accuracy that has surprised thousands. He has a gallery in London and regularly travels the world to see amazing things and draw them but he much prefers London from any where else.
He's defo worth looking up [http://www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk/] and also if possible try and watch the documentary (couldn't find it otherwise I'd have posted a link up!), it's called 'Extraordinary People - The Human Camera'.
Here's some of his work.
