What an odd thing to videotape. I agree with getting the kid some real drums, starter sets are pretty cheap. |

The titles for most videos around this place are about as factual as a fox "news" report. |

He's no Mike Portnoy, but then, neither was Mike Portnoy at his age. Hell, buy him a set of drums! |

Imagine being his neighbour!
Anyway, better that he found the washing machine open and not a gun safe. |

musically talented kid is musically talented. does the fact that he's autistic have anything to do with that? i don't think so. music (and coincidentally math, because math and music are intertwined) is a gift and here it seems his gift has been realized early in life.
good for you, drummer boy. i hope to hear your work on the radio some day. |

Great display of natural talent with rhythm. I wish my autistic nephew was more musically inclined. He can certainly tell when you're off key by even a little bit because he will put his hands on his ears and sing it right. But it seems his true calling is art |

Autism has a huge spectrum of conditions. Some of the most talented and well behaved kids I know are autistic. |

Just a kid who was clearly born with musical ability. Not everyone has it but it's common enough that I don't think it makes him special. I took to the guitar like a duck to water when I was 10 yrs old but I don't think it's anything special, just came to me naturally like drums/percussion to this kid. |

"Looks like the trolls on this site don't understand what Autism is."
I don't think you can blame piperfawn considering the video's title on youtube claims he's autistic, and the title here is exactly the same as that youtube title. |

So therefore this is nothing special. ALl it is is a normal kid who has been having percussion lessons for over a year.
Move along. |

If he was actually autistic this would actually be pretty amazing. Looks like the trolls on this site don't understand what Autism is. |

He's not autistic. Do some research first.

Very talented at something at a really young age that older people can't do as well. He's a witch! What witches don't exist? Then he's autistic! That's the only reasonable explanation of why he is naturally talented at something right? |

The original video states:
Published on Sep 23, 2012
"Whirled Beat". Boy (age 10) enjoys exploring the undiscovered, percussive sounds of household appliances. He also owns a Pearl drum kit, has been taking lessons for over a year, but is mainly self-taught in general percussion. His main inspirations are Neil Peart and Buddy Rich.
Also, there have also been some re-posts of this video on YouTube and other sites containing false information in the title regarding an alleged condition. This rumor first spread due to a misunderstanding by a person who linked to this video a few days ago on reddit.com.
Just because a young kid is good at something doesn't make him autistic. Just because some loser reposted the youtube video with a different title doesn't make him autistic either.
