This story is just so - wow! Autism is an expanding problem for children being born in the 21st century. There is hope, however. Nonverbal children can possibly learn to communicate. This is the case with Isaac. As a five year old, he spoke his first words to his mother: "I love you, Mummy."
Give it a read. The article certainly gives me hope for a future in which we can reach more children with music.
