The young man's communication skills have improved through the interactions, his father said, both with the adults at Wildlife Safari and with kids in his classes at Green Elementary. Sometimes it is hard to get the otherwise reserved boy to stop talking about the elephants, his father said. When he recites for the fifth time how much an elephant can eat, his family has to change the subject, Kris Malek joked.

It's always wonderful to see an austic child coming into something that enriches their lives. But, I have to wonder if this crosses a line.
This is great.
I know 2 autistic boys that I see about once a week. Wow. I can relate to the father's joking comment!
