Philosophy kid?? Hugo is the one who seems to be obsessed with trains and has developed an obsession with train timetables. He also memorized the entire UK railway network. Do you think any of the genius' are aspies?

Interesting. You're probably refering to this year's documentary, as I'm refering to the 2005 documentary. The two kids look alike. The list of documentaries in the series can be found here http://www.channel4.com/programmes/chil ... sode-guide .

I haven't seen the latest one. :(

I can't find the documentary anywhere. :(

The clips on youtube are rare and I can't find the other kid I liked. He had about 10 and had read more books than I'll ever read in my life!

I had a quick search on google for 10 year old book prodigy or whatever but no luck finding them or the documentary. If you find any more rare clips freshly upload, link me in! =]
