the show about twin women with autism who are savants

[Guest guest]

Did anyone see that show? I think it was on Discovery Health

yesterday. It was such a great story. They were born in the late

1950's, their mother abused them & kept them hidden. When their

parents died their younger sister opened their world by taking them

everywhere. They became fascinated with Dick , 100,000 Pyramid,

and would make thousands of color charts about what he wore, what

questions were asked, etc. They could also tell you who sang any song.

A reporter in FL where they lived took an interest in them, did some

stories, and developed a friendship with them. He got them a visit

with Dick . Their sister died and then they went north to live

with their brother & SIL who did not like them. I think they ended up

in a community-based setting and the reporter kept in touch with them

and took them not too long ago to see Dick again. Dick

also called them every year on their birthday and they called Dick

when their sister died.

If anyone knows the name of the reporter & if he's still reporting,

I'd love to contact him to thank him for taking a personal interest in

these ladies. Seeing that people like him, who had no need to take an

interest but did anyway I think are such wonderful people.
