ARK News .. Abdulrahman al-Assad, the 11-year-old, has exceptional mental abilities, according to specialists.

His family discovered from the age of four his ability to write in Arabic and English in a correct way, in addition to knowledge of Russian and Czech languages, as well as accurate drawing.

The child possessed these capabilities without learning them, which made him a rare and exceptional case, according to the newspaper “Emirates Today”.

Autism specialist Dr. Maysam said exclusively: “Abd al-Rahman is a rare community. It combines more than one type of intelligence with a sensory copier memory that enables him to transcribe any engineering scene and draw what he watches with extreme accuracy and auditory memory, with evidence of a huge amount of vocabulary without education or training.”

Abd al-Rahman, who suffers from Asperger syndrome, “autism”, has been integrated into the Syrian regular schools with the approval to keep him in his current school devoted to his condition.

Sources reported that there is cooperation between the ministries of education and higher education and scientific research to develop an educational plan for children.
