i read this article.  it's good - i think you'll enjoy it mark.  i think anyone will but . . .
i actually relate quite a bit to what this guy is saying.  it's how i memorize numbers as well.  only on a much smaller scale.  but i often say certain numbers have a feel; it's not always a feel - sometimes it's a color or a shape (and i don't mean the shape of the number).  i'm usually only aware of it though when it comes to trying to remember a number.  i'll find myself knowing that it is wrong when i think - no, i remember his number was softer than that or the phone number was more cohesive (meaning the numbers all had a similiar feel to them or went in a progression of color etc)
so maybe it can be harnessed / is in everyone cuz i'm pretty far from autistic or savant.

My letters and numbers are confused by shape. For instance I will confuse a 6 and an 8 often when trying to remember a number. If I am trying to recall someones name I can swear that it started with a B when it was a R or an L when it was a T.
