The kitty was abandoned in a barn and dying when we found him. Now he is very healthy but too young to let run. He has gotten into the habit of using my legs as a scratching post.

The 60 Minute segment was on Williams Syndrome, happy people who are able to hear any music and sit down and play it but can't count to five.

Yes, the idiot savants are the ones most recognized but there are many other syndromes that have great abilities. I feel that we should quit trying to normalize these people and work on their God given talents and not try to do it through mainstream public education.
