Many years ago, in the Sullivan Show another man with such prodigious ability was presented, he was not considered "autistic" just a man with an extraordinary ability. How times change...:o

When I saw the title, I thought they were talking about the fruit dates! heehee

Very interesting article...it makes me wonder what Jackie's thing is since we haven't seen him acting like anything is more then a passing phase. Like he likes his guitar but nothing serious, he won't try to actively play it properly and the same goes for his drum set. I guess he's going to show us when he's ready what his thing is. ;)
