Does he know what "hydraulics" are? I think he does.

(7,786 posts)8. I worked at a residential facility years ago for developmentally disabled adults
There was one young man there who was severely autistic, but had an encyclopedic knowledge of elevators. He could draw complex diagrams of how they operate and explain it, but could not function in any other independent manner.
No one knew how he could know how elevators work.
