Weird, true, miraculous? Adam Lambert, therapy for autism? YES! VIDEO!
Edited on Fri Apr-17-09 01:39 AM by Dammit Ann
Truly heart-warming. I cried. And I don't have children.

Check it! Must have reaction...

I'm still freaking out a tad. So fucking adorable. And sad. And beautiful.

QUOTE>>>on edit.

"Silas was diagnosed with PDD-NOS and SPD(sensory processing disorder) PDD is on the Autism spectrum and he NEVER has reacted to music like he does to Adam Lambert s Music, in fact he was oblivious to it......he loves any one of his songs and has a different reaction for each one!"

1. NOBODY? Damn, I guess I'll just freak out with no input.
I've been around autistic kids, this is pretty cool.

Just wondered, if it is that unusual...

2. No. Not therapy, that's for sure.
It looks more the little guy was in the mood to perorm for the camera that day.

That's great that he reacts to the singer's songs. But that's a far cry from "reaching" the child.

I know all about hoping for miracles, though.

4. I thought that.
I did watch some of their other vids to make sure...

He definitely performs, maybe that is the connection?

7. I didn't see any of the other vids.
My non-verbal son will "respond" to different, unexpected things. He'll "sing" a line or two from the Batles' "She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah" and the intro to Smashmouth's "All Star." No connection, and they're not songs he hears often, but he just likes "singing" them at various times.

Like in the middle of Church.

9. Good for him.
I always think "church" is ripe for raucous disruptions of spontaneous joy.
I think you mean the Beatles.

12. Well, of course.
He is ruining the world as we know it.

I do believe you mean the "craptop" to be Adam.

Certainly not "Church"?

14. Now we are officially friends.
Hilarious, I'm getting all wound up and it's just a key board malfunction!

Life is adorable!

Thank you for responding and making me seem sane.

You might really like this. Or really hate it, I don't know.

Peace offering?

16. He has a great voice. I like it when it's bit more restrained, like
here. I remember hearing he had been on the stage for many years.

Was this long ago?

No peace offering needed. I'm sorry for making you think I was slagging on Adam with the whole "craptop" thing.

I don't really follow Idol much. Is he still in the running?

17. Yea. Hopefully, he will win it.
If not, his fanbase is gonna make it happen for him. Yet, this is a fickle world...

3. What really cracks me up is that I'm like the kid in the vid.
I think I have an ADAM LAMBERT problem. Need immediate help.

5. To each his or her own. He's not my cup of tea.
And I think Tears For Fears should pursue criminal charges for what he did to "Mad World."
