Neuroscience has already explained why his brain works like it does. Luckily we don't live in the caveman ages and don't just explain everything with "god is great" and what not. He's human, just like you and me. There are many different parts of the brain, some parts are deficient but others clearly work fine. Stop acting like he is a complete vegetable that somehow has talent, where the only way it can be explained is god. Not sure if you realize how offensive that sounds

[@thomasnicastro673]

This is reason that Autism can make a difference. I’m on the spectrum as well. Agt is the reason I admire people like Kodi. I believe that nobody can surpass Kodi’s golden buzzer but it would be so memorable that can change a person’s life through hard times. God is Good!!!

[@hepojepo7150]

shut up

[@mcblaloc]

I loooove watching all the judges' faces when he starts playing/singing. I think there's an undercurrent of bias in our society that disabled people can't impress us - when, in reality, they can be just as gifted as able-bodied people, and even more so. I think this performance also beautifully illustrates the otherworldly power of music, an artform which somehow transcends all the limitations of the human body. Just look at Tony Bennet who, when consumed by Alzhiemers, could still perform ALL his repertoire perfectly. It's beyond comprehension, just like Kodi here. Music is literally magic, thank you Kodi for sharing this with all of us

[@rebecca721]

Beautifully said ❤

[@Myworld-co1qn]

I think they are shocked about the fact that he is blind and can play the piano so good like that’s hard

[@dhsRacing0620]

There is something about music that transcends the limitations of our physical bodies and connects us directly to the energy of the universe, I truly believe it. It's like a worm hole or something

[@owencook2332]

Perfect example of: *Do not judge a book by its cover*

[@sausageroll4137]

Can't agree more

[@greyculture]

What if I judged him by thinking "he is going to win agt even tho he's autistic and blind"

[@shrekonion8307]

no this is an example of "if the cover of your book has a tragic backstory then you automatically win

[@ryugo7713]

Gotta disagree. I judged him as soon as I saw him and my judgement was correct - blind and autistic. Imagine people failing to observe that he is blind and assuming he can see and letting him walk in front of a bus.

[@oussamaatmani6273]

Yeah which is an overused gimmick in shows like this

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!

@@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.

Just the fact a grown adult wouldnt be throwing a camera in the air in a pool...... and then proceed to upload that to youtube... so you get a bit of a pass just please take stuff like autism more seriously living with ANY kind of condition even as small as anxiety or occasional depression really sucks. you only get one life. and right now as a kid it will feel like life goes by pretty slow. but trust me you soon find out it doesnt...you will be 30 before you know and then you will be 40 before you know it then 60... and it would really suck to have to live your whole short life with some kind of condition, that makes it hard to enjoy life.
