Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'I was born on 31 January 1979 - a Wednesday. I know it was a Wednesday, becasue the date is blue in my mind and Wednesdays are always blue, like the number nine or the sound of loud voices arguing.'Like the character Hoffman portrayed, he can perform extraordinary maths in his head, sees numbers as shapes, colours, textures and motions, and can learn to speak a language fluently from scratch in three days. He also has a compulsive need for order and routine. He eats exactly 45 grams of porridge for breakfast and cannot leave the house without counting the number of items of clothing he's wearing. If he gets stressed or unhappy he closes his eyes and counts.But in some ways Daniel is not all like the Rain Man. He is virtually unique amongst people who have severe autisitic disorders in being capable of living a fully-functioning, independent life. It is this incredible self-awareness and ability to communicate what it feels like to live in a totally extraordinary way that makes BORN ON A BLUE DAY so powerful.; Die Genialität des Andersseins - Platz 2 der »Best Sellers« (The New York Times Book Review) Faszinierende Beschreibung des Phänomens der Synästhesie Ungewöhnliche Lebensgeschichte fesselnd erzähltDaniel isst genau 45 Gramm Porridge zum Frühstück und kann das Haus nur verlassen, wenn er zuvor seine Kleidungsstücke gezählt hat. Er nimmt Zahlen als Formen, Farben oder Strukturen wahr und verfügt über unglaubliche Rechenkünste. Auch Fremdsprachen lernt er innerhalb einer Woche fließend. Sein zwanghaftes Bedürfnis nach Ordnung und Routine, aber auch seine erstaunlichen mentalen Fähigkeiten werden verursacht durch das Savant-Syndrom, eine seltene Variante des Asperger-Syndroms(eine Form des Autismus). Dieser authentische Bericht eines genialen Autisten veranschaulichtauf bewegende Weise, was es bedeutet, »anders« zu sein, und bietet einen faszinierenden Einblick in die Kraft des menschlichen Geistes. Ich wurde am 31. Januar geboren einem Mittwoch. Ich weiß, es war ein Mittwoch, denn in meiner Vorstellung ist der Tag blau, und Mittwoch ist immer blau. Mir gefällt mein Geburtsdatum, weil ich die meisten Zahlen darin als glatte, runde Formen vor mir sehen kann so wie ein Kieselstein an einem Strand. Ich habe eine seltsame Krankheit, das sogenannte Savant-Syndrom, das wenig bekannt war, bis es 1988 von dem Schauspieler Dustin Hoffman in dem oscarprämierten Film Rainman dargestellt wurde.Wenn jemand meinen Eltern vor zehn Jahren erzählt hätte, dass ich einmal völlig selbstständig leben, eine Partnerschaft führen und einen Beruf ausüben würde, hätten sie es bestimmt nicht geglaubt, und ich bin nicht sicher, ob ich es selbst geglaubt hätte. Dieses Buch erzählt, wie ich dorthin gelangt bin.Daniel Tammet.…
