Autistic child with photographic memory replicates places by putting them on paper

Alex Baker’s talent is impressive. At just 11 years old, the little UK native creates amazing drawings of cities full of details.

Alex is autistic and has a photographic memory that allows him to draw entire cities just by having visited them once or even by observing them for a few minutes in books.

His main inspiration

London is her favorite city and she loves the financial district; the buildings in that part of the city seem spectacular to him.

His mother, Laura Jackson, recalls that when she took her three children to London for a day, Alex drew the London Underground system in great detail; the little one was only five years old.

Buildings are your weakness

In his drawings, which seem to have been made by an artist with many years of experience, we can see tall skyscrapers in Manhattan, Big Ben in London and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, among other places.

He is very dedicated in his hobby

His autism is not at all an impairment as you might believe. Alex takes only three hours to draw care or complete landscapes and can spend days in his bedroom devoting himself to his works.

Dream of visiting New York

Sometimes he imagines his own cities, full of buildings, windows, streets, and cars. His dream is to visit New York and see those wonderful skyscrapers with his own eyes; he will surely make hundreds of pictures.

Alex is capable of everything and we do not doubt that some years he will be very recognized throughout the world.
