Hi All,

This short ABC News Segment features a remarkable autistic young man with some amazing artistic abilities. It's a kind of segment that makes you wonder about life--which I like to do. :)

Regards, Wayne

Oh, I love that guy! As a child he was profiled in Oliver Sacks' book An Anthropologist on Mars. (Great, great book for anyone interested in how the brain works.) How lovely to see him "in person".

Absolutely remarkable! My first thought was 'I have to own one!' then I heard that they sell for over $100,000! Amazing, he truely deserves to have his talents lauded and I'm glad he has an OBE, so many are given to those who don't truely deserve them, Stephen certainly does.

I wonder how much a print would cost? :D
