Tristan Dunn, a.k.a. Redneck Von Beethoven

My life's mission is to inspire anybody whose life has been affected by autism.  I'm an autistic musical savant who plays many different instruments, including piano, lead, rhythm and slide guitar, fiddle/violin, harmonica, and flute, in addition to being a singer and songwriter.
My songwriting reflects a wide range of musical influences, including country, rap, hard rock, southern rock, classical, blues, jazz, folk, Celtic, and native American.  
My autism diagnosis, at 14 years old, has had a mixed impact on my life; while it has given me great struggle in everyday things, like independent living skills, social skills, and relationships, it has allowed me to excel greatly in academic areas, like music, science, history, and philosophy.  Music is the language that I use to communicate with the world outside of autism.  #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance #gifted #tristan #tristen #tristian #dunn #dune #redneck #von #van #vaughan #vaughn #beethoven
