@@Wrath6909 If he didn't have autism and blindness, it would be less likely that he would have this talent. For reasons not well understood, musical prodigious savantism occurs with much higher frequency in people who are blind autistics. Maybe not having your brain cluttered with visual or social information frees it up to focus on perceiving and creating sound.

Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!

My son is autistic and I would ask god every day to give me his disability and not let him struggle a day in his life. From being bullied and mentally challenged in every second of every day. To witness something so special like this goes beyond everything science let us to believe . For these few minutes this kid makes any parent with a disabled child rise up and feel like you’re in the presence of God. There’s a huge difference being a parent experiencing this type of life and everyone else saying they understand. Im a military disabled vet and i take care of my son with so much love an award him non stop for being my hero as he does not make excuses not even once. If this kid became an overnight sensation for what he accomplished think about every disabled child out there if we took the time to listen and raise more awareness.

[@MandyOnderwater]

I am autistic and I can promise you I gave my parents hell for a long, long time. My biggest issues were being bullied and a strong need for structure in my day to day life. I now pass for someone without autism to strangers, though those who know me might see a slip-up every once in a way (trained "normal human" behaviour helps to pass as "normal")
