Items related to May's boy: An incredible story of love
Leslie Lemke is blind, severely retarded , and has cerebral palsy. His sense of balance when he walks is decidedly impaired and he has to be led to the piano. At first he slumps over the keyboard,. But when he starts to play, an amazing transformation takes place. Instead of the expected spastic quivers, halting voice and uncertain actions, moving forceful, technically exact music fills the air. First Chopin, then an Italian aria, a German waltz, reverent hymns, ragtime, lively show tunes, rock...Leslie accepts the challenges from an audience with the deftness of a musical genius. How? Science has only theories. Psychologists call the special ability savant syndrome,a condition as spectacular as it is rare. Persons who otherwise demonstrate subnormal intelligence possess an island of brilliance far exceeding even the capabilities of the "gifted".
