Excellent piece. I've worked in the field for over thirty years, starting right out of high school. One of the living units (cottages) where I worked at the now closed Mansfield Training School in CT. was an interesting place to work. That is where actor Dustin Hoffman spent a couple days observing one man in particular to prepare for his role in "Rainman". Through constant research and examination, I now know this man had Autism Spectrum Disorder with Asberger's Syndrome.
Good stuff! Keep up the good work!

Hi,

Love the show, can someone please tell me what the piece of music used at the end of the Jonathan Mitchell piece is called.

Many thanks,
