'How does your brain work?!': Man who can speak and sing 'backwards' stuns passersby with his unusual skill
2018-04-25
[Mail] This is the incredible man who has a mind-bending ability to speak and sing backwards, stunning passersby with his amazing skill.

John Sevier Austin, from North Carolina, took to the streets to show off his talent, recording himself saying a phrase backwards, then playing it in rewind to hear the words normally.

One passerby exclaimed: 'How does your brain work?!' after John performed his trick during the fascinating video.

Growing up, he always knew he was different and struggled to relate to those around him, but it wasn't until recently that he found out he had Asperger's syndrome.

#6  I wonder if he could weigh in on playing 'Stairway to Heaven' backwards.

#5  Only an Asperger's kid would take the trouble to record himself backwards & forwards.

#4  That ain't nuthin'. There are a bazillion Muslims out there who are able to think backwards without even trying!

#2  ....he was different and struggled to relate to those around him

At least John and I have that in common.

#1  Sing backwards? It is difficult for some to sing forwards.
