Logan Blade will be taking the Aut 2 Be Kids Stage at 7:40 PM during I Am What I Am Music Festival and Autism Benefit in Shelbyville, Tennessee on Saturday, August 18th.

Bio

Logan was a normal child. He passed all his mile stones, crawling and walking,  but one thing we noticed when he was about 18 months was that he acted as if he could not hear us.

Our first thought was maybe he was deaf or just had hearing problems. Eye contact would soon go away. All the babbling and him trying to say Da da or Ma Ma just stopped.

So the testing began.

From 18 months on, he went from developmentally delayed to Autism by the age of 2. Through many years of tears and therapy we noticed changes for the good. We found out he could read in kindergarten and spell words like Encyclopedia and Astronaut. That was a shock.

Then about the age of three I heard the piano being played one day and to my amazement it was Logan. Did not have a clue he even knew what music was much less that he was able to play. Logan can only answer “yes” or “no” questions in conversation but he is very able when it comes to music.

He always hummed. His music teacher, Kim Sutton, took Logan under her wing when she realized he could sing. Once again, we were all shocked. You put a microphone in his hand and you know there is a God because he has perfect pitch (at least I have been told by many he does). He can also hear a song and then play it by heart.

We don’t know what the future holds for Logan but we will leave it in God’s hands.
