A fascinating and informative video, thanks very much for posting.
It's particularly interesting, in my view, to note that Derek's blindness as well as his brain damage were due to the hospital not having the proper equipment at the time of his premature birth and during his formative weeks ....another real-world example of Socialized medicine, something that a Hillary! or a Hussein-Obama Presidency would usher in.
There are several forms of autism that can result in individuals seeing colors when they hear certain sounds. Aspenger’s Syndrome, which I have, is one of these forms, although I do not have this particular manifestation.
