Black Hole Son - NPR

Listen to Black Hole Son
"We hear from a mother and her son. By age seven, he'd had heart failure and been diagnosed as bipolar. And then — after a period as the world's youngest Stephen Hawking fan — he got better." (15 minutes)
It's like a special needs toddler who lives in Silent Hill. It's amazing that a young mind could conjure up such graphics thoughts.

I will say the mom is a trooper. Her honesty is brutal, but not unrelatable or unreasonable given her situation.
