One of Stephen's extraordinary abilities is to memorize landscapes up to the highest detail. During this flight he had a thorough look at the view of the Japanese capital from the helicopter including thousands of buildings, towers, high-ways, cars, buses, even down to intricate details of trees and windows. Following the 30 minutes ride Stephen seemed to be very excited and ready for the challenge.

The Savant Syndrome(savantism) is the name of the disease. The causes are not yet clear. You can also search for Kim Peek, a savant, who can memorise an entire phonebook, but he's not able to tight his shoes.
Stephen is one of the less afeccted with autism of all the savants in the world.
