In the film <EM>Beautiful Minds, A Voyage into the Brain</EM>, he is introduced as "The Living Camera." As a child, Stephen was mute and did not relate to other human  									beings. When he was 11 he sketched the entire city of London in detail after viewing it only once from an airplane. The film tests his ability to draw the city of Rome in panorama after seeing it for the first time in a helicopter. He is given three days to complete the drawing and succeeds brilliantly in rendering exactly the number of columns and archways.
