Does he have family? Who looks after him?

What?!

Smileyrie James Yeah very true, but at least he would have the money to be cared for in his own home and not forced to go into residential care if he had no family and wasn't able to look after himself. No doubt with that kind of money he would have plenty of friends, lets just hope they're of the honest kind who only have his best intentions in mind.

They do sparkle 😊. something is going on that we don't understand.

I agree. Whatever is going on in his mind seems more joyous than what most of us experience. The look in his eyes is nirvana.

Alonzo has probably seen the face of God

He is an angel.....we are blessed to have witness such pure beauty

He's practically angelic.

Jo Lube it’s interesting how KZfaq’s recommendations work

Never give up

The parents may think that they had done a random act in providing the piano. However, it could be a telepathic response or something like that. One can only speculate. Our understanding of existence is obviously miniscule.

he's very pure, God loves him

😊💜 I know!!

Yep. He is happy. Just happy. No time for anything else. And surrounded by people who care about him.

Really you can tell that from watching a few minutes film.. he does look friendly and happy I agree. And I would be delighted to meet him. But I wonder how he acts if he's upset by something?

@@MrPaddlingthenet We all get angry from time to time, but I doubt he would go out of his way to do any harm.

He's not lying either. He is smart at what he does.. And that's smarter than most people.

Love your comment.

mine too - at first (this statement is his stock- goodbye phrase).

He was being literal - he can't forget any day, even if he wanted to

it was a good joke

Yes it meant much to him. It was very sweet and touching. He also asked for his name and shook his hand. Very polite.

Lol

@Wee Mac Kek

Vincent Schol pride, ego and politics was the death of science

@@iLoveTheBomb True!

Well, this story is more than thirty years old.

@@iLoveTheBomb You have science mixed up with religion. There is something in science called Peer Review and they will chew up your ego , pride, political influences and anything else not based on facts, and spit them in your face. What date did science die btw , because since you made that statement there have been 3 new discoveries in the field of medicine alone , and probably will be a half dozen more by the time you read this...

Boss quote

@@brendanbloomberg3283 Boss quote indeed!

""duh"

Facts!

Owned!

J Anderson It’s cuz scientists and experts think they can explain things without God...it’s obvious they cannot.

@@HajiStaxGaming that is a very profound comment. Thank you. Absolute truth.

Amazing, isn't it?

Steven Ryburn I know Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and the savior of all. But...if I wasn’t aware of that previously, it would be greatly evident to me through Alonzo saying God made him smart. Scientists say they don’t know how it’s possible, but strangely they fail to consider the opinion of the individual experiencing said “phenomenon”. When the pianist’s mother was speaking, she mentioned that the compartment of the brain that produces music was separate from the rest of his brain that was damaged, so he could, quote, “Have some sort of talent. And he got it!”. I find it extremely difficult to believe that is by coincidence and not designed by a loving, merciful God that brought good out of a debilitating condition presented to the world through original sin. The simplest of answers, “God made me smart.”, from Alonzo, along with the mother’s testimony about her son’s ability to play the piano, are both profound in their explanation to the “unexplainable”. Jesus is the truth, the way, and the life...no one comes to the Father but by Him. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Steven Ryburn My pleasure! That comment, “God uses broken vessels.”, is absolutely incredible. That should hit every hard on a deep and personal level. We ALL sin and fall short of the glory of God. That’s why we need Jesus. I, too, had a huge problem with addiction, as well as, gang activity, selling drugs, making self glorifying music, having sex with countless women...and God saved me. He reached out and showed me, when I thought nobody could save me from my wretched flesh, that He could through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. I’m sorry you’re very sick, and have been dealing with such addiction. I’m glad you’re seeing that the Lord can do all things. He works all things for good for those that love Him. I praise God every day that He saved me, and I beg Him to hold His hand on me and keep me by not allowing me to fall away from Him. I pray every day that He saves me. Our walk with Christ is ever progressive and as long as we keep faith in and glorify God, then we’re always on the right track. Stay positive, as God is using you for something great! In the Bible, Stephen is stoned to death and asks God not to lay that sin to their charge...present at the death of Stephen was Saul (later to become Paul). God uses us even in our final breathe, and many times we don’t see who God has touched through us. The Bible, also, states that in the end times all things will be revealed...and we will FINALLY get to understand and comprehend more what the absolute Greatness of God really is. Keep praying to God in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and stay strong my brother.

Tfrne you have no idea the truth you’ve just shared...or maybe you do. This simply shows how we are connected to everything around us. This man should be the norm not an anomaly.

Americas got talent already exists. A Savant just won it!

No! Enough with all this voyeurism. Let them live in peace. One love. 🤗

That's a great idea. It would certainly be worth watching more than what's on now. Today is full of hate, killings I need not go there. Just garbage.

@gregory brian, at first I agreed with your comment, then thought, "but how do we know what is "unchangeable" unless we try? But basically, I agree with you, but any answer to my quandary?

I just hope we don't destroy the world... so these beautiful souls can continue to enrich our creator

No such thing as a normal person. We are all different and have a talent. Sadly most of us never know our gift because society isn't set up to help each other learn what our gifts are.

Yes!

yeah it's really quite remarkable. Amazing man

"*sixteen minutes

the interviewer almost dismissed that comment lol. they're honestly just highly specialized, neurologically. a normal working brain is taking care of more than theirs, keep in that in mind. it's no wonder we aren't so specialized, tho some of us normal ones are.

I’ll stick to being able to count above 10 and tie my own shoes over being blind, unable to take care of myself and playing the piano. There’s nothing super human about these people.

@@MrCarnutbill67 you can use psychologytoday.com to find a therapist in your area

Dopamine Dude Why would I need one? Because I see these people as disabled instead of super human? Given the choice I bet they’d all choose to give up their “super powers” and be able to live independent lives. Imagine to only be able to focus on one task forever. To never fall in love. I thinking pretty clearly.

@@MrCarnutbill67 Luckily, most of us have empathy and we can see what they can do vs what they can't. Must be miserable being so jaded and pessimistic about life, bless you.

Such lovely thoughts.

Sadly I wonder how many poor souls have never had the chance for the world to discover their extraordinary gift for lack of support and opportunity from the ones closest to them.

Well you got so emotional that you forgot that Alonzo doesn't paint pictures but makes sculptures of wax.

Watch the video again and pay attention this time. Alonzos statues start at $750, he quit his job at the stables... Savants generally do not interact well with most people taking a 9 to 5 job would be impossible.

I was wondering how his money would be "managed" for him as well.

Exactly!

Meanwhile god just made me retarded 🤷‍♂️

more like the miswiring

Maybe it’s a spiritual thing

Yebo Screbo No.

So humble 😄

Svage😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

cristina Fultz hey I know that got to me too

Rain Man was inspired by another savant named Kim Peek from Utah.

For sure, and the voice as well

To a T !! He even resembles the look, the stature and mannerisms the producers developed with Mr. Hoffman.

@@muslix1147 The idea for the story was inspired by Peek. I was talking about the mannerisms Hoffman employed in the depiction.

I only came to the comments to see if anybody else noticed the resemblance

Nicely put :)

Cute aphorism, but no evidence that it's true.

@@jsmall10671 thank you for expressing yourself

mind blown!

@@jsmall10671 So the guy sculpting wasn't evidence or the others? Are you saying their lying or fooling people?

if guys like Alonso were running the world, there would be no wars.

Felix Ramos Amen to that!

I cried watching this...For me it's just about appreciating the Might and mercy of the Creator..even though these people are savants, they have some genius abilities. Everyone and also every animal has some special faculties. From where ? ? ...God is one, He is not Christian, Muslim, Jew or Hindu God. He is the Creator, Father of all living beings. Like the Sun is one but in every language there's a different name for it. Similarly God is one but different religions call Him by a different name. Here is a verse from the Bhagavat Gita. God speaks about Himself in the Bhagavat Gita, the Bible of the east. See vedabase.io/en/library/bg/15/15/ Best regards. Gauranga PS please have mercy on the animals- stop eating meat. It's not necessary. I am vegetarian 30 years. Hare Krishna

marlene riggs lmfao🤫 Stop it 😂

gauranga1008 Did I really cry or cried in laughter 🧐?

Exactly.

Michael Duran September 2019? Just a quick glance and I see at least 30 people who have watched this the same day as you!

Yeah just watching now. Awesome

Michael Duran : ME! This is September 20, 2019 at 4:25 PM Central Time! This was such a wonderful piece. It makes me wonder how different the world would be if you took every savant and were able to open that part of the brain in EVERY HUMAN on Earth! WOW!!! My father is a genius and is also a musical savant. He can listen to any song (even from the wild 80’s!) and play back the guitar part of the song perfectly! He can play an electric guitar and a regular, non-electric guitar. He is a really smart guy who never really leaves the house (unless he was going to work...) and is not very social. He is now in his mid 60’s and can barely function because he became a severe alcoholic and hurt his brain. He has had three strokes and can barely move his body. He has been sober for about 8 years, right after his first stroke...

Makes you wonder who is more intelligent. Kodi won AGT, well deserved.

mysteriously showed up in my suggestions.

Gatdamn right.

💯

You must contribute a lot to society

😭STRAIGHT TO THE POINT😂😂😂😂

Exactly! If you practice one thing day in and day out for 10,000 hours or more, you will be good at it. The quitters and lazy people are the ones who attribute all talents to luck.

"So many nights I sit by my window..."

Yes, and see the way they twinkle to reflect his happiness when he talks about his art. God bless him.

@Rasheed Lewis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tori you 100% on the right track, but it goes much deeper than that...

Hanuman Ji of course it does but if you even can feel save around your psychiatrist who should you even trust?!

"LIFE IS HARD .... THESE ARE THE TRUTHS THE GREAT TRUTHS!" tic

@Tori. By my personal experience psychiatrists are, generally speaking, not the brightest minds around. For some of them empathy is just an abstract word in the dictionary.

..then there are geniuses who know a lot about a lot!

@@warpnin3 True.They know alot about alot. But can they tapdance as well? Or just know all the dancers.

@@laserus3333 They can. I'm talking about people like DaVinci, Benjamin Franklin, Newton and others who excelled in more than one field. They advanced each field they participated in and made new discoveries in them

@Gary Nelson True. Exposure and interest are essential, but i wonder whether it isn't an inborn capacity to pursue a subject tenaciously and persistently which takes you up to the genius level..

warpnin3 Oh, please! Newton stole ideas and claimed them as his own. Law of energy? Sounds like Karma to me.

@Franz Kafka It better be a giant shoulder, for all my tears haha :)

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Comment of the year,Bravo😂😂😂😂👏👏

I went to art school & painted way before that. I went because I thought I would learn something new. I never needed training either.

to boot he replied to the interviewer plain ans simple when asked how he got hid talent... he pointed up and replied from God... we seem to forget EVERYTHING comes through the grace of God

i am sure she meant only to highlight how remarkable his talent is...if it was always expected that people who do not take an art class can be that great then this story would be an ordinary story

dec des great smile too.

@Sally Landrith Face facts. His chances of having a relationship with a grown woman are slim to none, if he has the mentality of a child. No one, especially not I, has determined he doesn't deserve love, but I would be highly suspicious of a "'woman" targeting him for a mate. He has to be loved and cared for as the beautiful person he is. Not everyone on earth gets to have a mate. It is what it is.

A Gold Digger will not mind

Disgustingly sad

I'm sure Alfonso has had a few, shall we say, naughty encounters in his time.

I used to teach cake decorating classes. I had an autistic student who struggled with day to day life. I was astounded at how quickly she learned, and advanced her skills far beyond my own ability..and not necessarily following my directions, either. Lol As I got to know her better, I learned how incredibly talented she was in other art mediums. All natural talent, no formal training whatsoever. My friend prefers the term "differently-abled" instead of the common term disabled..I couldn't agree more with her. My own experience plus the stories, like this video, are excellent examples of being differently-able..

Not if you can’t look after yourself

Green Goblin not at all. Maybe it’s a joy to YOU for being able to see it, but none of these people are really able to comprehend what’s going on. It’s like human animals of the KZfaq zoo

Let's not go crazy

A gift that is soo beautiful, That it must come at a great cost.

he remembers everayday for the rest of his life XD

@Alpino Alpini Wow, I will not argue with you, but I don't agree with you either. When you open your eyes and look around, you therefore have all the proof you need that THERE IS A GOD.

Patty J. Ayers same! But my piano teachers also told me to move on. Whomp whomp whomp.

Yeah, George is like, "Duh!"

He portrays a man called Kim Peek in the film rain man. He gave Kim the oscar he recieved!

Yes try to let science and evolution explain that. It can't. It was God in Heaven. Praise God for blessing these beautiful people 😊

Actually, science can explain that. It's the scientists that can't. Science is not a religion, it's a way of thinking. But you don't have to if you don't want to.

oicub2 is that the same science saying there’s no difference between male and female? Or the one saying we will all die from the climate in 1980, 83, 89, 95, 2000, 2010, or now 12 years from now? And you don’t have to believe in God if you don’t want to.

Nope. like I said, science is a way of thinking. Science doesn't say anything, People do.

Science is a god-given gift. Whether or not you accept God's gifts is up to you.
