I put it here as it is, for now. I will come back with music and cats for autistic people, reasoning a little abot these subjects. I love music, and, in a wild way, cats, though I am not a musician and, un fortunately I don't have cats now (I had the same cat, with a daughter cat, for 21 years).
"Tony DeBlois weighed less than two pounds at birth and became blind within days. Doctors suggested to Janice DeBlois that she let her son die, but she never considered that. Janice noticed Tony's musical ability at age 2. "I used to teach him vocabulary by singing songs to him," she told Boston.com. Diagnosed as autistic, Tony never really spoke conversationally until he went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Much to the amazement of the "experts," Tony graduated with honors. A musical savant, Mr. DeBlois, now 31 and living in Randolph, Mass., plays 20 instruments and knows more than 8,000 songs. His story is now in the pages of a book Janice wrote -- "Some Kind of Genius." And Tony has recorded his fifth CD to go along with it." (from some paper).
