Dale (the boy featured in the film about the dog that helped him to speak) on BBC Breakfast this morning

[sphil]

Did anyone see it? His mum now has a 5 year old with autism as well. Dale (who must be about 17/18 I should think) spoke very eloquently (though it was a bit hard for me to concentrate as I was rewinding a video for DS2 and was having to hold him off with one hand while he was hissing Thomasthomasthomasthomas in my ear .) Rather apt I thought!

Oh damn I missed it ! I met his mum at a book signing and I was secretly wishing that Dale would be there too. Also I had recorded the film version of the book on the V+ box but then it died and had to be re set and so lost all its programmes.
