New Mexico boy, 9, recreates logos from memory and writes in 10 languages

Sebastian Esposito, a 9-year-old boy from New Mexico, has gained fame for his exceptional abilities. He can write in 10 languages and knows the periodic table by heart. Additionally, he can recreate logos of popular brands like Disney and Ray-Ban from memory, and his favorite font is Abadi, a clean sans-serif typeface. Diagnosed with autism at three years old, Sebastian's talents have no barriers.

At 18 months old, he started arranging wooden letter puzzle pieces into recognizable words such as 'cat' and 'dog'. His parents, Ryan Esposito and Amanda, noted his early reading and writing skills, which included around 200 words by the age of two. Sebastian has hyperlexia, a condition where children read well above their age level and often focus on letters or numbers.

Sebastian's interest in languages and letters is extensive. He knows the Greek, German, Armenian, and Turkish alphabets, and he mastered the Russian alphabet before most children his age could recite the English alphabet. He also struggles to communicate verbally, but his ability to express himself through pen and chalk has become his primary means of communication.

His parents post videos about their son to raise awareness about autism and hyperlexia on the TikTok account @litttle.einstein. With hundreds of thousands of followers, some videos have garnered nearly 20 million views. The family posts these videos to show that there is a community of kids with hyperlexia, which motivates them to continue their efforts.
