"Music from the likes of the white stripes and coldplay" !?!?!? What a waste... Derek needs to be playing with musicians of a much higher caliber.

Furthermore if you look at Einstein and the great minds behind science, much research shows that it's possible Einstein had Aspergers Syndrome. Do not undermine these individuals. Seriously.

I have a mildly autistic sister, she has an absolutely wonderful singing voice and is such a pretty young girl. Truth be told, most musicians of the past, like Beethoven (who was deaf when he wrote some of his greatest pieces) were possibly autistic? I'm not saying it's a definite, I'm just saying it seems odd that many autistic people sensitively hear music. Also, most people associated with creating music are geeky, nerdy and high functioning. True music comes from talent and intellect.

what kind of people make a show like this making people to look in some way "ridiculous" for exposing their abilities? am i right writing it? and taking accent that they're autist.. i think it's a kind of "human circus" and i don't like it.. he plays amazingly the piano.. but i don't like that they expose him just for be an autist and have a great hand at the piano.. =/

[irbananaking]

@myf4e I Think what they're doing is the opposite of a human circus. They're showing the world to how amazing autistic people are :)

I can play " when the thunder calls you " on the piano by east 17 - impressive eh?

[flubno]

Maybe one day someone with autism will use their hyper focus to over throw the New World Order and all their bullshit. Like puting mercury in the vaccines to cause brain damage. They can pull it off, if some one points them in the right direction.

I'm so shit at piano...

[thecomfortisnow]

wow,he makes me wanna struggle my lazy brain more and learn more things...that i think are impossible.

[afertyus1000]

@thecomfortisnow it may be too late if you had been exposed to the piano music and sounds/chords/patterns when you were 3 months old your brain synapses would have fired everywhere to maybe give you absolute pitch

I have a Friend who is not Autistic but he can play and sing any song he has ever heard he has a photographic brain he can do any math equation, it took him something like 6 months to get his Jr High teaching degree.

[chrisofnottingham]

Its fair enough for him to do tricks like this but the stuff he plays when he does just jazz and swing with his band is the real deal.

[flproctor]
