  James Henry Pullen Biography on DanceAge
James Henry Pullen (1835–1916), also known as the Genius of Earlswood Asylum, was a British autistic savant, probably suffering from aphasia.
Pullen's masterpiece is a model ship, The Great Eastern, that he spent seven years building; Pullen made all the details, including 5,585 rivets, 13 lifeboats and interior furniture in miniature, himself.
Pullen also built a large mannequin in the middle of his workshop; he would sit inside it, manipulate its appendages and talk through a concealed bugle in its mouth.

 Wisconsin Medical Society - Savant Profile, James Henry Pullen
Pullen spent seven years completing this complicated ship, and it attracted worldwide attention when exhibited at the prestigious Fisheries Exhibition in 1883 in England, where it won the first prize medal.
Pullen was remarkably sensitive to vibrations coming through the ground and devised an alarm system in his workshop, based on that sensitivity, that made him aware of any approaching visitor.
Pullen, and the condition of the savant, remains a remarkable mystery, one we are still unraveling more than a century later.
