Autism the Musical Reflection Each child, with or without autism, is unique. Autism the Musical captures this aspect of each kid in an inspiring way. Autism is a neurological disorder, which means that the brain of someone with autism does not function in the same or proper way as someone without autism. Children with autism experience intense sounds and colors that are too overwhelming for their brain to process correctly. Many people with autism have difficulty controlling their impulses and sometimes become non-verbal. In other cases, kids become excessively verbal. Each child is different in their own unique way. The children starring in Autism the Musical all have a special talent and their own way of handling their disorder. Neal, the son of Elaine who ran Miracle Project, goes into his own world most of the time. He threw tantrums as a child and is trying harder to communicate with others now. He uses an electronic keyboard to type what he is feeling. Lexi is an amazing singer. When she was younger she would shut down around others, but in the film, she seemed to blossom. When she sang, she lit up the entire room. Henry is a very intelligent child who finds extreme interest in dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. He knows more about dinosaurs than I will ever know in my entire life, and I believe that to be true with most other people as well. Henry has a special talent with his brain and I hope he grows up to utilize his intelligence to his fullest potential. Adam is a young boy who often does not like to stay calm and sit in one spot. Through the film, he seems to progress and start to actively interact in a more appropriate way. Adam plays the cello, and he has a girl obsession which proves that autistic children are just like any other children. Wyatt also proves this. Wyatt knows that he is in special needs classes but he wants to be in a regular school
