Very enjoyable thread. As most are aware, my son Tristan is MR with multiple autistic tendencies. He loves music if he can dance to it! The faster the better. He is particularly enamored of learning songs with "actions." Last summer, he spent two weeks at "Cousinfest" with his Aunt Karolyn in Atlanta and attended Bible School where the kids learned action/movement to the songs, which were all very up-beat (Up With People kinda' things). My other son, Michael, showed the typical reaction when asked later to perform, but Tris?.........Whoa!!!!! Each kid had their own tape and we listened to the same 6 songs almost all the way home. We were all crazy, but Tris had the best long drive of his life! Dancin' in the seat, singin' along as best he could, and those hands were a FLYIN'!!!!!!!!!
