Gregory Blackstock.”It is quickly clear that Blackstock’s brain processes differently from most. With the classic markers of autistic disorder, he has a prodigious memory and can tell you the exact date of most important events in his life. He can transcribe music he has heard, play the accordion with gusto and recite from movie dialogue as easily as he recalls foreign languages. (The guttural sounds of German delight him and Blackstock loves to camp it up Hollywood-style: “Mein Deutschlander Führer: Sieg Heil!”) Years ago he was enrolled in a community college prevocational course in tailoring, and his instructor later remembered Blackstock as the most superb student he’d ever had.”
