HE'S A WITCH!!!!

But can he say "mom" backwards?

This is one of those human talents that I can't wrap my head around.

Ex could write with both hands simultaneously one forward , one backward...In longhand. Yeah. It's bizarre how brains become oriented to environment and the skills we choose to nurture.

The really cool thing about this is that he is also getting the reverse phonetics pretty close. If you just typed out a sentence and then read it phonetically and then played it back in reverse it wouldn't sound right.

I don't know if I made sense....in other words if you say the word "wolley" and play it backwards it won't sound like you said "yellow"

There was a girl in my class that could do that. She could also write backwards, and upside down in longhand.

I can definitely write similarly, but in cases such as those in this video, I get the sense that there's something significantly different about the mind in people who can do this. Maybe it's just me, but I used to try to talk backwards for fun when I was younger, and it would basically take me an hour to memorize how one sentence sounded. I'd still screw it up on repeating it.
I don't feel like this is a trained skill though. To me it's entirely unlike the kid in the Jimmy Kimmel video who can rattle off any nation or capital in the world instantly. I don't know if it's as simple as the difference between those who are naturally good at abstract concepts such as mathematics and those who are entirely, visually and artistically inclined, or something else (call Prof. X! Here there be mutants!)
I, for one, guess I feel the need to welcome our new backwards-talking overlords.

David Lynch is already casting him for his next movie.

So English backwards is Swedish.

We filmed another video of him at the time - posted it on youtube now:
