Savant Profile: Gilles Trehin and the city of Urville

From the Wisconsin Medical Society:

Gilles Trehin has been drawing since age 5, but at age 12 he began designing an imaginery city he named URVILLE which is described in great detail on this posting, and on his own linked web site as well. The background of the evolution of Gilles's talent in his childhood years is described on this posting as well by Gilles's father, Paul. Gilles has presented his remarkable work at a number of autism conferences and conventions which are always well received, and which he very much enjoys sharing with those audiences. — Darold Treffert, MD
