ABSTRACT

An anecdote (take 1): My 21-year-old adult son with autism was taken to a klezmer music concert. The staff of his treatment program reports that it was a wonderful success. He loved the music, so much so that he got up and jumped up and down and waved his arms ecstatically. His joy was infectious and made many of the other

concert-goers loosen up and enjoy the concert. His treatment team will look for other concerts, which might also make him that happy.
