Music as the bridge that bypasses words. In this episode, we tell stories of how rhythm, tone, and melody reached Christopher in ways spoken language could not — and how it became a shared language of joy.

The Role of Music

Christopher is the fifth of our eight children, born with classical autism. At three years old, his understanding and communication were that of a six-month-old, yet his story is nothing short of miraculous. Through him, our whole family was transformed. What began as a journey through confusion and silence became one of love and awe, reborn — a passage from loneliness to love, from isolation to connection, from fear to faith and joy.

In these conversations between Christopher and his mother, Amanda, we’ll share that journey, the lessons, the laughter, and the wonder. We hope that the miracle, the awe, the love, and the joy might reach a little further than our own family.
