I remember this movie that came on NBC in the late 80's that dealt with this kid who was searching from his mother. The kid had some strange abilities. One thing that he did that I remember was when he helped this man with his antenna on his home, somehow he fixed it where the man was picking up signals from across the globe. In the end of the movie the kid has grown up and leaves his home searching for his mother. I just can't remember the title, any ideas?

The Gifted One (1989) (TV) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097431/)
