I want to introduce everyone to a very inspirational young lady from Scotland. I met Sam on Facebook and continue to be amazed by her positive outlook on life and how she so willingly advocates for other children with autism and promotes awareness to anyone who will listen. I see a lot of similarities between Sam and my daughter Kristie, who is just embarking on her journey to show people that just because you are on the autism spectrum, doesn't mean you aren't talented and can have a great life. :-)
Congratulations Sam. I look forward to hearing more of your music in the years to come and hope I have the great honor of getting the chance to meet you one day.
You can enjoy listening to Sam's music by going to her MySpace Page found at: http://www.myspace.com/samanthaemusic
Sam's bio.....
Samantha is 15 years old and has Autism with a pervasive communication disorder. Sam started singing before she even learned to talk and though she still can't communicate very well using speech... she makes the effort even if it doesn't come out right. She says she is not the best singer in the world, but she loves to sing and believes she has been very lucky to have the chance to share the songs she likes to sing.
Sam credits her success to the love and support of her family and friends who wouldn't let the "Autistic" label limit her potential. Most of all what Sam believes would be great is if her music helps raise "Autism Awareness" and makes people think differently about children who have Autism.
