Wow, not even a handful of posts and it has already turned into an anti-vax thread....
It's nice this man can do such amazing things, but not all people with autism have a sort of Rainman gift. Like any human being, each has their own special gifts that are not necessarily made for TV movie caliber.
what is wild is we all have the same brain.. we just do not use it.
Incredible.
On another note, what is up with all the O/T posts?
That's Incredible!
Fascinating, captain.
Phenomenon.
Its like if I said...oka
and he did...
and he joined his (what is the navajo word for that) spirit with mine here...
and I traced over a picture with MY pencil...
he could draw it perfectly there...
as good as holding it up to a window.
Axl, for example, can take back songs from now...whet
autism may be a dislocation of time, space, and spirit.
For gods sake please stop writing headlines like this. This is about a young man with a photographic memory, and an uncanny ability to draw what he sees. Its not about his autism. ENOUGH with the Autism=rainman crap. Not all autistic people do stuff like this.
Hello Spirit. You're right, it's not about autism.
But I can't help but wonder what this fellow might have been like if he hadn't been damaged, probably by vaccinations.
My two granddaughters were slightly damaged, one still suffers a lot of belly discomfort but compared to many, our family has gotten off lucky.
My step granddaughter at two could name the bones in our bodies & all the states & capitols, foreign & domestic. She really knew them & didn't just memorize them in order.
She wrote little books & was so amazing. Her Mother didn't know the danger of too many vaccinations back when she was little & she received them all & so went her talent.
She's still great & really smart but not the same little free spirit she was & it shows.
They tried to have her put on drugs in school a few years back but by then from experience with reactions of her two younger daughters & their vaccinations, she was wiser & didn't allow it.
I think she was just bored in school because her mind was always some where else like maybe in short stories she continues to write.
She's 13 now & I don't want to think vaccinations made her not able to pay attention.
I'd rather think she's just bored because school's too elementary for her.

I'm taking this opportunity to ask people here to add their voice to this most important debate/discussion where the Obama Administration is listening to "US" concerning vaccines, autism & the other associated matter such as all the many toxins those we trusted with our well being let loose on "US"
Make your voice heard by adding it to the many others for one so loud, it can't be ignored
See the most revealing & eye opening facts on this matter, yet, going on here at HuffPo at this current & most important article in the comment section.
No matter which side of this issue you stand on, our children are too important not to address this matter:
