Autism Teaching Tools: frustration and perfectionism

[mezhiya]

Beautiful. My son is also Autistic, and singing has been his breakthrough. Speech is still a struggle for him, but he shines when he sings..

[DarkQuietWyattON]

He has a good voice and totally undertand the frustration he feels

[AutisticWhoLives4God]

He is beautiful singer. You can tell that there is a deperate will to get it perfect. I used to do the same type of thing with playing the violin.

What song is this? -Mary

[pentaburks]

@123booklady I think it is called "this is my Beloved Son. " It is the in the Primary songbook of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Lol, he reminds me of my son, has some exact same gestures!

[bhhawkins]

It is OK to get up set but I love how you control it. Keep trying to be patient with yourself and practice helps you to remember all the songs

Your singing has made my 4 year old son with Autism sing also. Thank you for being patient with yourself and for practicing that song to share with us. Thank your family for helping you on a daily basis. God Bless you all

I love his voice, smile and personality. great job, Evy!

[rbrtpongo]

[Liquadia]

[Leslinka]

He is beloved. I have two younger autistic grandsons and a seven yr. old daughter with learning problems. Her frustrations are similar, due to the need of perfection. They are all intelligent, and beloved as well. Great job and dedication shows. Love him.

[ABAisSCIENCE]

It seems he tries to sing at a pitch that is tough for him.

Mind you he sings beautifully at two different pitches, but one of them makes his voice crack.

[raecelestek]

He is AMAZING!!!!!

He'll be a star one day. =)

[fluxlively]

Evy, you have a beautiful voice. I hope you keep singing!

[wendme]

what a good job, you are so amazing, i loved it, keep up the good work,

[KnoxvilleJavaGirl]

I loved it! He is so funny at the end!

My daughter has autism and is the same as your son. She has perfect pitch and will do things just as Evy did at the end.

Please visit my YouTube account to see her sing. Especially watch the "In a World of my Own". It is my favorite!

Thanks....

[morningstar1981]

what's the name of the song?

[MeliBellyDiva]

Evy, I don't even know you and I am proud of you. That does not sound like an easy song to sing. You have a beautiful voice. Don't stop singing!

[kellihiggins]

Thank you for posting this video, Your son is wonderful. My son is 4 and has autism and LDS :) love that song! He is so much like your son, so cute and funny but so easily fustrated. I don't really know how to deal with that. Any advice? thank you, Kelli Higgins

[therapstNZ]

Fantastic! A difficult song to sing and he did a great job, the best part though is the way he perseveres even though it's obviously very frustrating :) Perseverance and failure cannot coexist. Failure happens when you quit. He will do well in life :)

[mithosleaderofcruxis]

he has a good voice that was really great

[bjmob77]

what a beautiful voice

[jonnham]

Rough start. Good job
