In May 2005 Wiltshire produced his longest ever panoramic memory drawing of Tokyo on a 32.8-foot-long (10.0 m) canvas within seven days following a helicopter ride over the city. Since then he has drawn Rome, Hong Kong, Frankfurt, Madrid, Dubai, Jerusalem and London on giant canvasses. When Wiltshire took the helicopter ride over Rome, he drew it in such great detail that he drew the exact number of columns in the Pantheon.

He’s autistic! That’s the whole secret behind his ability. His autism is the very thing that enables him to make these amazing drawings, and it also usually “forgotten” when the media talk about him. Autistic people can do amazing things, but it’s only ever mentioned if it’s a disability, if their autism hinders them. This is ableism and erasure.
