I happened to check the word "autism" while scrolling through the news today and saw that it was connected to the show "America's Got Talent." So I did some more searching and came up with a video clip of him; he's really adorable. It's a positive thing too, so for those who are used to only negatives being shown, here's a change.

I admit, I getting teary eyed watching it (although I can't identify why). Did he look like he was going to start crying halfway through his song, or was that just me projecting?

Paula - I haven't stolen him, and as tempting as it is (he is cute), it is very obvious that his parents love him and he them, which is a good thing.

It's cool how singing was his first form of verbal communication with others (I'm assuming he sang along to songs he liked on the bus); it's actually a common thing, in reality (some sing songs they hear, others hum a tune, and others still sing/hum a jingle/commercial).

He did well.

I enjoy watching America's Got Talent and I saw a clip of this boy. I didn't know he was autistic though. Is that confirmed?

If he's sincere about that song then I don't think he has autism.
