At three years old, a chatty, energetic little boy named Owen Suskind ceased to speak, disappearing into autism with apparently no way out. Almost four years passed and the only stimuli that engaged Owen were Disney films. Then one day, his father donned a puppet- Iago, the wisecracking parrot from Aladdin – and asked “what’s it like to be you?” And poof! Owen replied, with dialogue from the movie.
