I hope that this links. An autistic girl sings Fireworks with Katy Perry. Quite something in my books.
Jodi was diagnosed with autism around the age of two and upon learning of her disability, her parents were told that there was no cure for their daughter and not to "expect too much."
"Apparently I had never spoken, never made eye contact with anyone, played only by myself, never pointed at anything, cried when I wanted something," the young musician writes on her website (http://www.jodigirl.com/). "At three, I struggled with speaking but I could sing ... and I did constantly … It became apparent that I had perfect pitch (http://www.jodigirl.com/pitch.png). I was fortunate to be admitted to the best school for autism in the entire world. I still struggle every day with all the deficits and difficulties that autism brings. It's a full time job. I love making music and I hope that my music makes you feel as happy as music makes me."
