Ms. Stahl, I enjoyed your program on Rex. I am an educator and it reminded me of a quote from my favourite educator, Charlotte Mason. She said, "We attempt to define a person, the most common-place person we know, but he will not submit to bounds; some unexpected beauty of nature breaks out; we find he is not what we thought, and begin to suspect that every person exceeds our power of measurement." Thank you.

Good work, Leslie. I remember seeing the first story about Rex and I delight in his progress.

I am no doctor but observing Rex today I wonder, along with his being a savant and having autism, I wonder if Rex could have Williams syndrome as well. How could he "have no emotion" and yet be so sociable? Something to ponder.

I look forward to reading his mother''s book.
