History

There is a special kind of savant, not one that is born with a particular disorder or with autism. But some kind of head injury, or siezure can occur, that seems to trigger something unusual in the brain.
In Orlando Serrells case he didn’t display anything unusual until sometime after January 15 1979. Orlando was playing baseball when he was hit on the left side of his head in blow strong enough to cause him to fall to the ground.
I just felt the pain on my left side of head.
Orlando didn’t go home and tell his parents, he also didn’t receive any medical treatment for the accident. For a long time after the accident however he suffered from headaches.
They eventually passed and shortly after this time, he discovered he had an amazing ability.

Orlando Serrell’s Super Powers

From the date of the accident onwards Orlando developed an ability to perform calendar calculations that are amazing.
Additionally he can recall what the weather was like on pretty much every day since the accident in 1979.
In recent testing his recall of dates prior to the accident is also improving!
For example you can say to him “23 january 1993″ and he will tell you not only what day of the week that was, but whether or not it was raining in the area where he fell

The Brain is an amazing organ which too me exemplifies the glory of God the creator, how can such an intricate ,amazing thing exist? I have examined this amazing organ a bit more deeply in my website, and particularly the relationship between the soul and the brain, and mediation and its effects on the brain. How our consciousness and what we eat and our experiences effect how nuerons and the glia of the brain directly effect how nuerons fire and what pathways they take in decision making processes and how in the future space craft etc will be flown by thought control.
