You have any idea what she's doing now? Can't find anything current for 2023

[@trhansen3244]

Not yet. But I hear Michelle Obama is working on a version that will premier on OWN next Christmas. According to some insiders, Michelle Obama has the best voice in the whole world.

How nervous her school music teacher looked when he started playing piano bless him! One minute he’s playing in a school then he’s in Hollywood! He did a great job! 👍🏻

[@psa921416]

Overcoming Autism? Really? One does not need to "overcome" autism. Nothing to "overcome."

[@trreb1]

@@psa921416 Come on now. You know she meant well. Don't be a bitch.

[@psa921416]

@@trreb1 good advice

[@kpaxian6044]

@@trreb1 I think maybe she was trying to raise awareness to think that autism is something that can be "cured." What does happen often is people find great ways to make the aspects of living with ASD less difficult and usually this is by focusing energies on our strengths. So over time we can cope better and do better across the board. Not sure it that made sense but I know the OP only was trying to be kind, too. I understand the meanings behind both statements ♡ Take care.

[@combatengineer894]

She melts my farts

[@j.t.c.9157]

With an autistic grandson, this version cuts just a bit deeper.. what a precious angel. ❤

[@reynarodriguez9742]

As a 25 year old diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and mild ADHD, I am impressed as always, I remember crying so badly when I first saw this before 'Jesus Christ Superstar', and DANG, she nailed it!!!!!!!! I cried even more when Pentatonix popped up after she sang the first verse

[@MixedMediaInk]

They don't classify it as Asperger's anymore it's Type 1

[@kaitlyn6668]

She has a very beautiful voice this is amazing

[@bubble_nut5000]

This was a great performance. But, the school rendition of hallelujah is heavenly.

I saw her school performance and it made me tear up. Then came across this! Wow! Teared up again 😭.... She is so beautiful! She looks like Liv Tyler!! Good luck little lady!!

[@briannmeese7772]

yep, it tear me up too

[@kamelhaj6850]

I am so glad to see how far Kaylee has come, both in her singing and her disorder, and wish her a bright future! I have several emotional problems which have (outside of small talk) made it often difficult for people to comprehend what I am saying or for me, them. After a lifetime of misunderstanding, I found my voice through my singing at the age of 60. I've now been singing karaoke some seven years, and when I see people smile or cry, I know that I'm finally understood!

[@TheAutisticEducator]

As you can hear, it's obviously NOT a disorder.

[@nor4277]

Everytime I hear Kaylee sing ,I have tears in my eyes ,what a amazing singer and talent.I hope she will always share her talent with the world.

[@mattgreen3715]

Omg she is SO TALENTED! Autism and ADHD are such a blessing. Good for her for getting out there and inspiring people!👍

[@flav2689]

Agreed otherwise but saying autism and ADHD are blessing is just too much. It can sometimes be if the person is extremely talented and gives hope to people, but it also makes the persons life much harder. All of us are not as gifted as Kaylee, even though we often are smart and creative. I’m sure you mean well but please don’t say that. This is coming from a young woman who is struggling daily with ADD. It’s difficult and easily makes you feel a failure.

[@potatodar]

Not sure if Kaylee wants or aims to inspire people, but disabled/neurodivergent people don’t automatically exist to inspire non disabled people. She has a beautiful voice and I’m glad she found an outlet , but her talent shouldn’t be cheapened as inspiration porn

[@Caracasgirl100]

Kaylee has an amazing voice, and should be really proud she has managed to overcome the anxiety that often goes along with autism and ADHD. However, autism is not something to be "conquered": ignoring it or masking can create far more problems further down the line. What is needed is reasonable adjustments to enable autistic people to live fulfilling lives.

This! I came here to watch Pentatonix and as an autistic adult myself, that headline was a bit shocking (if not surprising). Do better. "written off as non-verbal" etc. The language of this is all inspiration porn terribleness! Ick!
