OT - Autism Music
As many of you know, my grandson was diagnosed with autism when he was
18 months old. He has made great progress. In the course of finding out about autism, I joined several online support groups. One of those was babycenter's autism board. When babycenter changed and deleted many of our old boards, many of us migrated to a private board. One of the women who did so is an Australian mom of a boy just about Nikhi's age. She has written a song that has been launched at an autism conference in Australia. It is a beautiful song. My friend wrote the lyrics. It is sung in this version by a Vietnamese Australian who has a wonderful voice. The plan is to translate it into Vietnamese and give it free to all special needs parents of Vietnamese ancestry because their culture has little support for parents with special needs children. I am sending the link *and* the lyrics. I hope you enjoy it. Pass it on to anyone you believe might be interested. http://www.youtube.com/user/AutismSpectrumMusic The singer is Thanh Bui, a winner of Australian Idol who is of Vietnamese ancestry. Through My Eyes See the world through my eyes It changes shape and it changes size It’s not quite the world you see. If you could find a way to look around inside my mind, Maybe you would understand me. Chorus: Cause I’m not blind, but I can’t always see. I’m not deaf, but things can sound strange to me I’m not trapped, but it’s hard to feel free. Imagine what it’s like to be me. Imagine what it’s like to be me. It’s hard for me to try to think things through, to talk like you. Everything can be a blur sometimes. But if you walk along beside me, take my hand and guide me together any mountain we can climb. Chorus Dreamin’ of my future and it’s brighter than you know I’ll get there on a different road, we’re not afraid to go. I don’t need pity. I don’t need tears. I just need someone to help me understand my fears. Show me you believe in me. Let me know I’m ok. Help me feel safe in the world and I will find my way Chorus Imagine what it’s like Imagine seeing the world through my eyes -- Dorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..
