This just smells foul; can't help but be sceptical. Diana de Avila sounds like an arist who crafted a story to sell her work, and George Logothetis sounds like a genius who was approched by Treffert and convinced that actually he's smart because he had an infection at the age of 2.

> In Treffert’s response to de Avila’s outreach, he called her story “compelling, and your artwork amazing.”

> “He was like a father figure to us weird circus people. He was the ringleader of this beautiful circle of giftedness,”

Treffert sounds like grade A manipulator, though not sure who's using who here.
