Autism Aura Reading Jamboree, honoring Stephen Wiltshire
January 9th, 2013 by Rose Rosetree
Autistic savant Stephen Wiltshire, ready for his aura reading
Stephen Wiltshire was mute when he was diagnosed with severe autism at the age of three. He began communicating through his drawings and is now world famous for detailed drawings of city landscapes, drawn from memory after being seen one time.
Autism has countless faces and auras. Statistics vary about how prevalent autism is today. One respected estimate is that 5.5 out of 1,000 children live on the autism spectrum. Savant autism occurs, to some degree, in about 10% of the autistic population.
Think “Rain Man” for an example in pop culture, the Dustin Hoffman character displaying strong talent within savant autism. For with any degree of talent as an autistic savant, musical abilities are the most common, followed by artistic talent. And then come talents that involve numbers and other fascinating specialties.
The common denominator? It’s phenomenal memory.
In today’s article, I will introduce the remarkable work of Stephen Wiltshire, with exceptional talent even among those with savant autism.
A sample of his work graces the top of today’s post. Soon I will provide a photo of him for our second Aura Reading Jamboree.
A week from today I will post my own aura reading of Stephen Wiltshire.
If you scroll down today, this article will give you a summary of Stephen Wiltshire’s amazing achievements in art and music.
But first come some screens provided for your benefit… if you are interested in participating in this educational exercise of the Aura Reading Jamboree.
Yes, an Aura Reading Jamboree is your opportunity to do receive some free coaching as an aura reader or skilled empath. It is a chance for you to shine.
The whole exercise, including reading details that follow, could take you 15 minutes. Are you willing to meet the challenge?
Yes, I invite YOU to upgrade your skills with Deeper Perception. Go ahead and read one or more chakra databanks on this remarkable man, using the photo below. To become part of the Aura Reading Jamboree comment sequence:
- Please name which aura reading technique you are reading.
- Name one chakra databank at a time. (You might want to read from the following list.)
- You might want to create a document that you can save, like a Word document, with your findings. Then cut-and-paste onto the COMMENTS box here at the blog. Use one separate comment box for each chakra databank… unless you are researching six or more chakra databanks. (Place that into one comment and I can move it later into a Guest Post format!)
Beware, aura readers and empaths
Do your aura reading first. Learn about the person later. You will have more clarity, less mental clutter, with your personal exercise in Deeper Perception.
Hence the order for today’s blog post, with amazing facts about Stephen Wiltshire buried deeper into the article.
Do your aura reading contribution before reading comments by anyone else who participates in today’s Aura Reading Jamboree. Researching somebody’s chakra databanks, you need to know that other people’s comments and findings are none of your business.
Developing Stage Three Energetic Literacy is not like psychic development, with its emphasis on external validation. Although you are welcome to use any technique for your aura reading (including someone’s technique of psychic development), this blog is about Energetic Literacy.
This is why I encourage you to do your own aura reading first, not to read anyone else’s comments before doing your own aura reading for yourself. Internal validation can be valued on any spiritual path, actually!
As an alternative to aura reading, you might wish to do a Skilled Empath Merge. That’s fine, provided that you are a skilled empath. And provided that you use a dedicated technique for Skilled Empath Merge.
Being autistic is not comfortable. With Stephen Wiltshire, more than most people, it is not wise to slip-slide into an empath merge, or do a random improvised ooching into the experience of another person.
Any empath will – not may – any born empath will pick up STUFF in the process. This STUFF will automatically become part of your subconscious experience short-term or long-term. In short, your aura will suffer. And for what purpose?
Deeper Perception, done with skill, will help you avoid suffering. And yet…
Many people today are exploring empath skills, which is wonderful. But in the last year I discovered that quite a few empaths are doing this dangerous combination:
- Moving in and out of other people’s experience, doing unskilled empath merge all day long. (Sometimes consciously, sometimes not.)
- Adding techniques for shielding or protection. (As if this would keep out STUFF. It won’t.)
- Doing techniques to, supposedly, remove the STUFF occuring because of those unskilled empath merges. The efficacy of the particular technique depends on the nature of that practice. However, any such approach dooms an empath to suffering, since new STUFF is coming in all the time. Empath Empowerment(R) helps you to develop habits of automatically not picking up STUFF in the first place. Doesn’t that make more sense?
An unskilled empath merge with a person with a mental health disorder is not the same thing as seeking thrills on the surface level of life by researching someone exotic or freaky.
Blog-Buddies, don’t confuse the amazing talent of Stephen Wiltshire with what it is like to BE him energetically.
Whew, all that said, now let’s get on with the fun of this Aura Reading Jamboree. 
Which technique will you use for an aura reading or Skilled Empath Merge?
- It might be one of many in “Read People Deeper.”
- Or, if you prefer to do a Skilled Empath Merge, you could use “Magic Picture” from “Become The Most Important Person in the Room.”
- Or you might use “Darshan” from “Empowered by Empathy.”
- If you studied with me in Aura Reading Workshop Level 1 or 2, note that. And name the technique.
- If you are using an entirely different technique from another source, give due credit that way.
Now for the fun. Which chakra databanks will you choose to read?
You might wish to select from the following list of chakra databanks:
Aura Reading Databank at the Root Chakra: Making Contact with Objective Reality

Amazing Stephen Wiltshire
Yes, you may have read about him. One of the best summaries I’ve seen comes from The Huffington Post:
Stephen Wiltshire was mute when he was diagnosed with severe autism at the age of three. He began communicating through his drawings after being sent to Queensmill School in London, and with the support of his special-needs teachers, gradually learned to speak.
It was during those school years that they discovered Stephen’s special talent, when he drew the ornate Albert Hall following a class field trip — without the aid of a photograph. Wiltshire has the uncanny ability to draw and paint detailed landscapes and cityscapes entirely from memory.
Wiltshire can look at the subject of his drawing once and reproduce it accurately with photographic detail, down to the exact number of columns or windows on a building. He memorizes their shapes, locations and the architectural flourishes, and will do so with New York City after a brief helicopter ride.

Go for it, Blog-Buddies. This man has one fascinating set of chakra databanks!

What about the phograph of Stephen Wiltshire that I recommend you use for reading chakra databanks with our Aura Reading Jamboree? Credit goes to Wikipedia:

One more fascinating biographical tidbit about Stephen Wiltshire comes via the official Stephen Wiltshire website:
http://www.stephenwiltshire.co.uk/biography.aspx
and an article in the London Daily Mail (September 14, 1993).
The artist’s musical talent was discovered while on a trip to Russia:
“When we were in Moscow we would throw our own private concerts, usually opera, in our hotel room. One evening Stephen stood on a chair and sang Carmen from memory. He had picked it up from the television and remembered it almost perfectly….
“He soon began studying with the music teacher Evelyn Preston, who identified Stephen as having perfect pitch – the rare ability to identify the pitch of an isolated musical note.”
Okay, one small side comment of a personal nature. I have also been profiled in the London “Daily Mail” and “The Los Angeles Beat.”
It is a wacky feeling to have these funny things in common with Stephen Wiltshire. Kind of a media version of six degrees of separation.
(To quote Wikipedia: “Six degrees of separation is the idea that everyone is approximately six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of ‘a friend of a friend’ statements can be made, on average, to connect any two people in six steps.”)
Reading Jamboree. Stephen Wiltshire, technique Magic Picture from “Become the Most Important Person in the Room.”
While doing this Magic Picture technique, there was quite a notion to me of feeling spaced out, a little off kilter or off balance from my normal perception of living. Not uncomfortable, but very different.
…. [And what a powerful reading follows. Blog-Buddies, I aim to make it a separate guest post. Aiming for later today. Meanwhile, leap on in. Join our Aura Reading Jamboree, even reading just one chakra databank!]
Hey Rose, what if a blog buddy volunteered to be the subject of one of these aura reading jamborees? Do you think that’s a good idea or not so good?
JORDAN, this is a really bad idea. Didn’t know you were capable of them.
Except WHY isn’t so obvious. So, to explain:
A face reading, on radio, is going to be all positive. Okay, a potential challenge will be noted, but that’s no biggie.
Because part of The Power of Face Reading is a system that emphasizes free will. Face Reading Secrets(R) adds nuance to any face reading by including the life lesson that goes with a life gift. It’s up to the listener to assess whether or not that challenge has been overcome.
By contrast, an aura reading is deeply personal.
In this public blog, I research only public figures. In Aura Reading Jamborees and guest posts of all kinds, references are only to public figures.
Even the Enlightenment Life List includes only public figures, plus the special exception of a Blog-Buddy I place there. Because being placed on the Enlightenment Life List isn’t just some aura reading but a huge honor.
Of course, some of you Blog-Buddies might enjoy receiving an aura reading. Well, that is why I do personal, confidential sessions.
Also, for those of you who are simply interested in a short report, I recommend the service offered by VALERIE ST. JOHN, an apprentice in my Energy Spirituality Mentoring Program.
Of course, most folks who do phone sessions or in-person sessions are more interested in aura healing than simply aura reading. That tends to be a wise choice for the first few sessions, because even a really excellent aura reading is not a healing.
In short, JORDAN, thank you so much for asking.
lol. Well I’m not surprised at all by your reasoning, so maybe it was obvious.
But I’m still glad I asked, thank you for your big ol’ thorough answer.
Noticias como esta ayudan a entender la mente de las personas con autismo. Lo que se diagnostico como autismo severo, realmente es severo en cuanto a capacidad de comunicacion pero no intelectual. Quizas la mente con autismo simplemente se utiliza de otra manera que la sociedad cree inferior porque no es semejante a la mayoria, pero en realidad es superior en otras habilidades. El problema es que puede no ser muy util para vivir en sociedad.
Como sea, ayuda para entender. Yo como madre veo que lo mas util para entender a mi hija con autismo son textos escritos por personas que se han recuperado del autismo. Aunque casi siempre tienen la caracteristica de escribir todo seguido, con puntos seguidos, pero sin puntos aparte, el contenido ayuda muchisimo. Son genios que saben muchisimo y quieren comunicarlo y ayudar, pero es como si hablaran otro idioma. Nos cuesta entenderlos, si es que lo logramos. Pero es un reto interesante.
I’m not sure why this comment was written in Spanish but I decided to translate it!
“Articles like this help us understand the thinking of autistic people. That which is diagnosed as severe autism, really is only severe in regards to the capacity to communicate, not in thinking. Perhaps the autistic mind is simply utilized in a way that society thinks is inferior because it’s not similar to the majority, but really it is superior in other abilities. The problem is that it [the autistic mind] may not be very useful to use to live in society.
In any case, it’s helpful to understand. As a mother I see that it’s most useful for me to understand my autistic daughter through texts written by people who have recovered (?) from autism. Even though they almost always write everything in a stream, without pause, the content is very helpful. They are geniuses that know so much and want to communicate it and help [the world / others], but can be as if they speak another language. It can be hard to understand them, if that’s what we try to achieve. But it’s an interesting challenge to do so.”
My Spanish isn’t perfect but this is a decent summation of what the poster wrote, if anyone was curious!
Thanks Dave!
