           I thought that King Shakir
           would have an impact in this
           sense, that is, on children
           with various disorders. Many
           families with autistic children
           say that their children are
           very interested in King Shakir
           and that they sleep with him
           and wake up with him. This
           is a very interesting situation
           indeed. King Shakir has a
           great influence on children.
           I always say this: "Once
           they watch King Shakir, they
           really become addicted to
           King Shakir." They watch his
