James Durbin Continues to Amaze, American Idol Contestant on the autism spectrum with Tourrette's

James Durbin gave another great performance today, and it is always impressive to see what someone on the autism spectrum is capable of. This guys is amazing. I am really impressed by his choice today. He shed his rocker aspect a little bit and sang Paul McCartney and showed us that he has a great deal of range.

Anyway, I really look forward to seeing what else he brings to the table in future episodes. So, let's make sure that we keep him the competition by showing our continued support. Remember, when you vote for James Durbin, you are not just voting for a great talent, but you are also voting for the autism community as a whole. If James makes it very far in the competition that can also mean more and better publicity for the autism community, especially in regards to Asperger's Syndrome which I feel anyway doesn't get the media attention it deserves.

However, with that said, I think James Durbin is an incredible talent, and I look forward to seeing how he grows and evolves as the show continues.

To vote for James Durbin call 1-866-IDOLS 06 or vote online at www.americanidol.com/vote

Also, for those new to my blog, I encourage you to check out my blog archives. I myself have autism just like James Durbin, and hope that this website can serve as a great resource for those wanting to know more about autism or wanting to see the perspective from someone on the autism spectrum.

I thank you for reading today's blog entry and wish everyone a most awesome day of awesomeness!!!
