Kim Peek
Laurence Kim Peek was an American savant. Known as a "megasavant", he had an exceptional memory, but he also experienced social difficulties, possibly resulting from a developmental disability related to congenital brain abnormalities. He was the inspiration for the character Raymond Babbitt in the 1988 movie Rain Man. Although Peek was diagnosed with autism and severe intellectual disability, he is now thought to have had FG syndrome. The Utah Film Center’s Peek Award is meant to honor his legacy.
