High functioning, not a doubt. I despise x-factor and any BS related to singing/performance but this guys a good singer. People with HFA/aspergers get good at what they're obsessed with.

Don't know what form of Autism he has, but I found the clip inspiring.

Frankly, I would not base an opinion of his type of Autism based only on a six minute video. It's not enough to go on.

It seems that my dad always sings the song in a solo in church. He's a great singer, but I've received mixed reception on my singing. I love this song.
