All mothers love their children and Rex’s mother deserves a standing ovation for raising Rex. Rex I hope to hear more music from you whenever you are ready. For now, it’s time for me to get to a bookstore to buy this book. Thank you for broadcasting and sharing this beautiful story❤️❤️❤️

​@@elainewhitelock5347 About maps and routes... I have autism, and I helped my father to navigate the route from the Netherlands (where I live) to Austria. He has bought some schematic maps and draw a line with a pen, so that he knows where to drive. When we all are in the car, I did the navigating as an 8 year old child. I helped him by looking at road signs and tell what direction he had to take. Google Maps didn't exist yet. Now I am 57 years old man, but I have a very good navigating memory. Although I use Google Maps for navigating, I still can drive anywhere, where I want. I have driver's license and I even capable to drive at the left side of the road in countries like United Kingdom. I have been driving in Liverpool, Edinburgh and Glasgow. I have a car with manual clutch, but I should drive in an automatic car in countries like these. When I am walking in an unknown city, I have an excellent sense of location. I can construct a map in my head, while I am walking. I am capable to find my car back. I think I am highly intelligent about some areas, but I am not very awkward socially. I am extravert as well, and rarely overstimulated. Noise and crowded areas are not a problem.

This young man is certainly an inspiration to music lovers and other musicians, he has this incredible talent which Im sure a lot of us have. Brilliant playing Rex.

Truly gifted. Kudos to his mother!

Amazing talent. Who would have thought of playing Beethoven as a tango. Considering the composer struggled with hearing loss I think he might have amazed at what this young man is capable of. Taking one of his works and mixing it up into something totally unexpected!

Prayers to you Rex an your mother ! God Bless you all ! Best wishes for you !

That young man has an innocent spirit, we truly do not give enough credit to where credit is due. We favor image and vanity over talent like this... i hope in our unity and revelation, we can be more loving to each other by truth.

This interviewer is one of the best I have ever seen. Cheers to him for his kindness, compassion and intuition to record the perfect segment with this family.

All i see is the power of love, elevating the wonderful mysteries of human biology. Which humans are still in the beginning of the journey of investigation. May God Bless you all.

You can so tell that she’s his mother, just by the facial structure. What a talented guy. I hope he’s still playing music and enjoying himself.

I spent many yrs working with developmentally disabled people and encountered a couple of savants; a blind man who played piano beautifully, a man who couldn't cross the street safely but could tell you exactly what roads to take to drive to any major city in North America AND spoke fluent Spanish.

Good on this kid but anyone else hear how smooth this dude's voice is?

What an incredible young man here. I would love to see an update, since more than 10 years have passed.

Do those that berate the Mom realize that music is the only thing that brings about happiness, joy and normalcy to this young man? Some people can be so cruel.

It is very sad Issac. I have watched quite a few videos on autism, doesn't make me an expert of course. What I did find is that when an autistic child finds an outlet such as music or art, the autistic child becomes much more calm and that those that are non-vocal, become vocal.

Beautiful, beautiful story. Thank you. Also, so special to see Harry Smith. 🤗

Mother is great! Teruyuki Tsujii 's mother’s selfless effort made him a great pianist of the century. So as Rex’s mother. I admire her courage and wisdom and sacrifices which mothers give because of love. This is an inspiration to all the women who have or planning to have children. Thank you!

Aspergers is not a "disease". Diseases need cures. Aspergers is a neurological difference that would benefit from a great deal more understanding from non-autistics.

He uses all things to give us opportunities, what we do with them can glorify or disappoint him. We are not puppets and God never promises that our lives will be easy. The promise he makes is to never abandon us. You can deny him. He gave you free will. You can walk in anger and fear and frustration, or, you can surrender to his perfect will. We like to think we got everything all figured out. You can choose to condemn or you could find peace and joy and hope in some awful situations. God loves you and wants only your faith and love.

Only because of Mom does he have a rich and protected life. The love and trust between these two is WONDERFUL! His musical talent is lovely and unexpected - only because Mom has been a tiger for her baby and created a safe wholeaome world for him!
