I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY guest Patricia Kayser is the Founder of Autism&Music. When her brother Christian was 10 years old, she noticed that he had an interest in music. This motivated her to learn to play the guitar at age 20, as a way to spend more time with her little brother who has autism. Soon after, she noticed that Christian’s social, motor, and cognitive skills improved as he interacted more with instruments and new sounds. So, in 2013 Patricia founded Autism&Music, a nonprofit organization that builds a more inclusive and accepting society by hosting music, art, and sports activities for individuals with all abilities, in-person and online. Discovering the strong connection between music and her brother Christian changed her life. Ten years later she’s determined to secure funding to develop a center to enhance the quality of life of individuals living with autism through the power of music. Join us on August 21st at 7 PM at the Autism&Music Inclusion Fest, a virtual concert designed to support artists with all abilities from all around the world.
