I remember learning about this man in my neuroscience courses when studying learning and cognition. From what I can remember, he is/was British, on the spectrum, worked for either the post office, or maybe a patent office. He had the ability to memorize everything he ever read, particularly phone books, and I would greatly appreciate his name and I know it is not Kim Peek. Thank you for any help.

BTW there is the memory athlete Tansel Ali in Australia,
Besides him, there have been reported numerous other cases besides that of Luria's reported case described in The Mind of the Mnemonist,
Brad Williams, Rick Baron and, Bob Petrella. Perhaps you meant Aurelien Hayman from Cardiff.
