Here's link to Boston Globe story about 20 year old autistic man who is
graduating from Berklee.  He's pianist and composer and has upcoming gigs at
festivals world-wide.  It's a remarkable story of adaptation to his handicap
and building a solid career.

It would be somewhat long to print out and, I suspect, would be of interest
to some, but not all.
