My daughter is 6 yrs old and has autism. She was diagnosed at age 4 yrs. It took her a while longer than most children to learn walking and talking. She has done okay in school, but as everyone always notices, singing and music is a big motivator. She will try hard to match the pitch of all and every note in music and songs. Most songs she learns after listening only twice. She tends to memorize words and meanings if put into a song. She also follows directions better if they are sung to her, such as singing for her to wash her hands or brush her teeth. She is a very bubbly and happy child, and usually brings a smile to my face especially when she is singing. Her voice is very low and soft, which makes her sound so precious singing. Teachers at school say she is a blessing and loved having her in class.
