According to Mr Millar, Kaylee is normally very shy, but that didn't get in the way of her powerful performance. She's also become an internet star, thanks to the footage of her singing going viral. Since it was shared on Facebook, the video has been viewed over 178,000 times. Millar said Kaylee had "the voice of an angel," but he added that he was proud of all his students.

It was a very moving performance for me and to think that the choir behind her also had some learning difficulties makes it even more extraordinary. It's nice to have a bright spot here and there. :halo:

I have a nephew with autism, and whenever he listens to music he starts dancing and smiling, I remember 3 years ago I spent my christmas with them, and he got a set to play like a DJ hehe, and he was so very happy with it :D

It makes me think of this video that I saw a while ago. A father takes his autistic son to a Coldplay concert (his favourite band, apparently), and the child is overwhelmed with emotion and starts crying (I guess he's so happy!). It's very moving.

Russian Folk Music That Will Make You Thrill :)

https://youtu.be/V8slArpj_XU

“Beyond The Quiet River”

Beyond the quiet river and birch grove
The first spring flower is bursting into bloom
And I am simply making a wish
And having crossed myself, I will glance to the East
The sky will be coloured (lit: colour itself) by scarlet dawn
And the eternal sun will rise over the world
And a white bird will fly over the earth
And bring God’s forgiveness from the heavens

And something big will make itself known to my heart
Such that it is not [possible] to take in in my lifetime
And it will become peaceful and sweet like in childhood
When my mother hugged me

A solemn prayer will flow with tears
Sadness will be filled with Christ’s love
And at that moment my soul will touch
The grand entirety with the name of Russia
