Can People with Autism Sing?

Yes, they can. Autism is a condition where the person feels isolated from the people around him, but they are totally connected to the world. They communicate with the world, but nobody to address to. This BBC documentary shows it very clearly:

Furthermore, autistic Kyle who has hardly spoken for his entire life stunned his family by singing and has now released his own album.

Kyle Coleman, 27, has released an album of original songs despite being a non-verbal autistic who has never uttered a full sentence and has been virtually mute for his entire adult life

Kyle Coleman, 27, was diagnosed with 'classic autism' aged three, but soon retreated into a world of his own, stopped speaking, and to this day has never uttered a full sentence.

Kyle was almost completely non-verbal until 2009 when his mother took him to a musical therapy session and he started singing along to his favourite songs in pitch-perfect harmony.
