Summary: Musical Inspiration! Join Karen with Autism Empowerment Radio as she interviews 10 year old Canadian autistic singer, Colin Brennan and his supportive dad, Gordon Brennan. Colin, a young vocal student and musical prodigy will be singing for us and sharing about his life and love for music. He will talk about how autism has helped in music with memorization & pitch. Colin was born on July 5th, 2002 and was able to sing before he could talk. His parents have VHS movies of him singing full songs by the Care Bears when he was only 4 years old. Colin had to have extensive speech therapy to talk in full sentences, but NEVER had to have any therapy to sing! He just cannot help himself. Whenever he hears a song, he has to sing it loud!
