step on the narrow back of a typical classroom chair. As frightening as it was to witness, Alex seemed to know the exact fulcrum point and never once did I witness the chair even slightly tipping.
After a change in medication, his newly adopted odd behaviors began to slowly subside. Most importantly, he began to drink and eat again.
Although Alex could spontaneously use pictures and could copy printed sentences on his own and at the computer, he could not generate any typed or written communication on his own. Like many of his peers, he needed the visual cues to initiate interactions. Our final year together, he began to initiate requests drawing pictures of desired items he wanted.
After I was no longer Alex's teacher, I planned to visit his class. I decided to get him some favored treats to see if he would draw pictures to request them. The night before, as I was in the supermarket, I was thinking of him as I selected the items. I got him some candy shaped like fish, a tiny pack of chocolate chip cookies, and a tiny pack of donuts along with his beloved butter cookies.
The next day, I went to visit him, but I totally forgot about the treats and left them in the car. When I was about to leave his classroom, I remembered. I told him I had some butter cookies for him in the car and would bring them in. I drew a picture of the butter cookie as I handed it to him as I told him that I had some in my car and that I would go to the car to get them. I did not mention nor to my knowledge think about the other items I had bought the night before. To my utter shock, he took the piece of paper, drew a circle and put marks in it to indicate the chocolate chip cookies. He then drew a donut, and finally, a triangle with a spine through it, which I assumed indicated the fish candy. It was if he had said, "Don't forget the chocolate chip cookies, the donuts and the fish candy!" I was flabbergasted!
How did he know what was in my car? Were the items telepathically transmitted the night before while I was in the store? Was a form of subconscious entanglement occurring between us? Or was he capable of remote viewing? You be the judge!
