- Gabe is an autistic and nonverbal teen. Ever since 2020 Gabe shocked us when he started to sing. As he has gotten older his voice has changed and he doesn’t sing or try to say words much at all.
When we were in Myrtle Beach I started to hear him try to. After returning home we put on our favorite show, The Voice! Gabe loves it! He started singing again and talking in his own way! I can’t wait to see how this all develops!

People are drawn to Gabe without him saying a word. He communicates so well with his eyes and welcoming smile. Gabe is a star.
He's a handsome kid with amazing posture combined with a unique personality. Makes for a pretty likeable person.
@@officerjimlahey you can call it what you want to make yourself feel better, but it's literally human nature.
Not everyone is a sociopath like you Brice
Gabes voice has got so deep. 😊
@@officerjimlahey You are all up and down in these comments hating on a kid with autism. I don’t know if that is sociopathic behavior but something sure ain’t right with you. Whatever Gabe did to you just move on, man!
A guy at our church was told his son would never talk walk and he would put him on a horse with a special saddle and sing to him as he walked him around on the horse and his son started singing words before he could “speak”words. He is now learning to walk
Heck yeah brother, that's awesome news. What an amazing thing for a father to do.
That’s so great. Often times it’s just finding the right key to unlock potential. Singing uses a different part of our brain than talking. You’d think they’d be similar but they’re not. Sometimes where words can’t find the way in or out singing can.
Music has a way of rerouting the brain for some reason-so cool!! 😊
He has the face of an angel.
My son has Aspergers. He talked plenty enough, but only ever sang when he was genuinely happy and relaxed, with no other worries. Gabe certainly looked happy and relaxed here. Glad I found your channel.
Don't stop Gabe, just do what you feel like doing. Love and best wishes for you.
The getaway definitely did Gabe good. From dancing to music, he has a rhythm and voice that are naturally attuned to creativity and expression. A talented kid!
I totally agree. People are drawn to him without him saying a word. He communicates so well with his eyes and that welcoming smile.
He’s going to speak… but he needs music therapy included with speech at same time. Singing words, sentences, etc.
@@shellylavigne5913I agree that he needs music therapy but often autistic children are nonverbal because they have auditory processing disorder. Music uses the opposite side of the brain from language and often can help them learn. My son was nonverbal for many years but with music, computer and tv he learned to speak. My talking sounded like gibberish to him most of the time but if the tv or computer talked he eventually started to understand. Auditory processing basically means they have trouble processing auditory speech and that’s why noise and talking can stress an autistic person out. I read once that for people with auditory processing disorder listening to someone talk for 15 minutes is like running a marathon, it’s both physically and mentally exhausting. Music therapy helps so much, definitely recommend but don’t pursue speech therapy until you’re sure they don’t have auditory processing disorder (used to be called central auditory processing disorder CAPD). If they have APD then use computer based speech therapy and children’s cartoons with limited short easy talking. My son loved magic school bus and rugrats. From rugruts he learned to understand what family, mom, dad, sisters etc meant and so much more that didn’t click with me telling him.
I bet Gabe hears a complexity of things in music that most people do not hear. He might think of music as a way to bridge the gap between the world outside himself and his inner world. If he is vocalizing as the music is playing, I think he is making that cognitive connection! Music truly is therapeutic for all!!!
I'm certain that Gabe has the music in him. He thinks in terms of music. You can see it. I have two young teens ( not autistic ) who are musically gifted. They have thrust my hubby and I into a world of music. I have met through them, musically gifted kids and adults, many on the spectrum. I would strongly suggest you offer an array of instruments to Gabe. It is shockingly amazing how fast musically gifted kids learn to play the instrument of their choosing. Gabe may be twirling and humming to concertos in his wonderful imagination. I think he is.❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶❤🎶 He's such an Angel he probably hears heavenly Harps.
Barbara Bruce; what a nice answer you give about GABE! You are a beautiful person! Thank you!
He has a keyboard and a guitar! Although motor skills are usually the hard part for autistic kids who are musically gifted.
@@officerjimlaheyIn my opinion, and as a “musically gifted neurodivergent person” myself, there is evidence. I’m pretty sure he has perfect pitch by the way he used to sing when he was younger. He sang Another One Bites The Dust without missing a single note.
@@officerjimlahey good tempo, good entonation, good feeling and the ability to not change the key of a song when singing it again (aka perfect pitch, most likely)
@@officerjimlahey anyways why are you so against people saying the guy has a good musical ability? He’s obviously disabled so being able to actually show those skills in a way people find it “fascinating” is obviously a challenge.
What surprises me most every time I see Gabe's eyes is not seeing the slightest tinge of cynicism in them. his look is pure sincerity
@@officerjimlahey assuming he has no idea what’s going on is pretty silly. Easy to see that there’s some cynicism in your eyes.
@@officerjimlahey don’t spout realism when u have already proved that u don’t have a realistic view of how autistic people perceive things.
He is so handsome. I wish you, your son; and your girlfriend the best.
Music is universal, and not prejudice.
Gabe may not speak a word, but yet he does❤
I love hearing Gabe’s voice!!
He may benefit greatly from music therapy!! Combined with speech therapy
@@shellylavigne5913 music therapy is a great way to communicate with someone who is nonverbal, and he has a great sense of rhythm and is very musical so I can definitely see him excel at it! I truly believe one day he will communicate naturally on a device ;)
Have you tried music therapy?
@@lisalarouge6309 I’ve done music therapy with people I support at my work and it’s amazing. I’m a musician myself so I enjoy music a lot
He is such a handsome young man. There's a lot of love around him! ❤❤❤
What a lovely handsome young man. Bless him.
Such a beautiful boy. That's just awesome. God bless him 🇿🇦
I think this young man is an inspiration to everybody. What a cool little guy
We need more pure hearted people like this in the world.
Wow it's good to hear his voice... He's a sweet guy... One day maybe he will speak! Don't know a lot about his abilities, but I feel it! Thanks for the vid 👍
Give him 10 years and he will sound like Mickey Mouse!
@@livmarlin4259 what do you mean by that?
He
Is
Beauitful
Sing
On
I know I don’t think I’ve ever heard his voice before so he’s singing along made me tear up
@@officerjimlahey For him yes it is actually
Gabe is such a sweet guy, and I love watching these clips. I can see so many positive changes occurring. You moms are just awesome. So patient, so encouraging, offering Gabe so many experiences, filling his life with so much love. Hugs to all 3 of you
@@officerjimlahey why do you spend so much free time trolling this channel. Go back to 4chan.
WHAT a beautiful fella! I wish him a long healthy and happy life.
Gabe and momma tht was beautiful.. Love this sooo much. Praying for Gabe and you too Momma..
The eye contact is awesome in itself! Speaking from experience ❤️❤️❤️
Love you sweet Gabe.Such a loving family.
My sentiment exactly ❤❤❤
The love that I feel for him. So glad I found him on his journey!!
Gabe is coming on so well, with 2 mum's as devoted as you both are its no wonder.
Thank you for sharing Gabe with us. He fills my heart with so much joy❤
Hi. I think it's wonderful to share Gabes life with us. Thank you kindly.
It's for us to to get to the frequency of love that Gabe is on. Music is that bridge ❤
Loved this, I feel he is trying out his deeper adult voice and getting used to it, as it must feel so much different vibrationally for him ❤
He has wonderful pitch! And he is feeling those words!! Thank you Gabe for lighting the way with your Heart ❤
Aww your son is so precious 🙂
Gabe is so very sweet. My grandson is a 4 year old with autism, and is also nonverbal. He also loves music and sometimes will sing along very loudly. I think it's so precious. Music really has such power over all of us no matter who we are.
Aaaaah. My heart. He is so cute.
Gabe is not just a treasure to his family but to the entire world. Thank you, Gabe, for allowing me to share your life with these videos. You are inspiring.
Wow he really got into it! Guess he needs to see some more concerts and people singing ❤🎉
Gabe I can’t blame you for enjoying his singing, it’s wonderful for all your online friends to see how much you enjoyed him too. Sending you and your family hugs from the UK.x
I love Gabe so much. Im high functioning autistic and he just genuinely makes me smile so much. He is honestly super cute and seems like such a sweet amazing person and honestly just makes life seem super positive.
Language is nothing more than the ability to express our thoughts, whether that be verbal, signed or a combination of both. Gabe is teaching us his language of love and inspiration and I'm grateful for the opportunity to hear and see that. He fills my heart and soul with joy. Merci beaucoup et joyeuses Pâques! (Thank you very much and Happy Easter!)
People can relate through the music they love. This is wonderful and Gabe is so happy . My ASD foster son loved to go to his room and play music he would sing to yet wouldn't speak to anyone he didn't know.
I love watching this channel, it is so uplifting !
Hes an Angel..its hard not to be drawn to him. What great parents you are to expose him to everything that is life to him. ❤
I love watching Gabe. I always fuss about all the problems in my life, but this man can’t speak. But yet he has the most upbeat personality and loving personality. Not that I want to be non verbal, but I wish I could be like Gabe in all other aspects. He is living and living life the way it was dealt to him. Love this dude!!
He really seems to connect with and feel good about the music! I'm glad he's using his voice. Go, Gabe!
I Love music and Gabe voice!!! (Sorry for english, im from brazil) Gabe is so handsome!!! ❤
I wish there were a key to autistic children’s minds. Gabe is young. Maybe in his lifetime someone will find that key. ❤
He is so sweet. Love him!
I’m Praying 🙏 for him!!!!! I know he will not only talk but sing!!!!! Our words speak things into existence! Tell him everyday he will sing! It’s so awesome how you play music for him. My Dad is fighting cancer and music is the only thing that perks him up!
I like your message. A friend of ours has terminal brain cancer right now. 🙏 for your 👨. Hopefully, more treatments can be found. 🙏 for Gabe.
Can't listen now, because I'm at drumband rehearsal. But I will definitely come back later to listen to his voice. Playing music and singing is what I love to do the most.
It brings a tear as well as a huge smile to hear Gabe vocalise. Keep going, sweet boy, we’re behind you all the way! 💕
Btw, my verbal ASD daughter also loves rocking to music. It seems to be so soothing to them. Just interesting how there are similarities despite autism being different for each person. We love Gabe & his family!
Awww 🥺❤️ as someone who’s autistic but not non verythis touched me a lot I couldn’t stop awwwing i hope u guys realize how lucky u are to have such a sweet treasure who’s a gift from God ❤
You never know! He may surprise you.. That would be so incredible for him to communicate with people verbally. 😊💫👍❣🙏
My grandson is only verbal about his music and video games. Most often he is silent. I am always happy to see kids respond to music. It is a joyful moment when you can witness their happiness.
Gabe sang beautifully. ❤
When you said, “Gabe, I always cry,” it sounded like he said “I know” 😊 I’ve missed hearing his singing!
First time I've heard Gabe utter a sound. Even though it wasn't words, I was thrilled to hear him make sounds. Love to see him, especially when he dances.
One of my favorite songs too, Gabe😍
Omg, just hearing his voice made me emotional! It's wonderful what music does for him!!!😊
Wow this is the most ‘conversational’ or reciprocal I’ve seen Gabe being so far on your channel. He clearly understands everything you’re saying and responds without using words
I've been following gabe for some time and it is so awesome to see this young man moving forward. He continues to set an example for the rest of us to
us May you all continue to be blessed. I should really say that you as his mom are a great example to the rest of us. Thanks
Music is a truly universal language. Glad to see Gabe feels it, too. 😊
Simply beautiful! 😊
I do believe this young fellow has found something that makes a positive connection for him. That's awesome. I wish him , and you the Family all the best for the future !
He likes music. Someone should sing to him very often. 😊😊
So proud!
Gabe is so sweet. I love to see him having a good time👍🏻and hearing his voice...woow🤩😄👏
I just love Gabe...what a handsome, sweet young man u r.❤
I wonder what kind of universe he holds inside of him, maybe music could be another language for him to express himself and show us his truth, dreams and love. He is helping change the world. Thank you. The universe communicates in beautiful ways just like him.
I think it was the beach too! Go outside more please you need the sun too. You're older than him don't you wanna stick around? Breathe fresh air get the sun and plant some sunflowers please! The world needs love like this
I really love hearing your voice, Gabe!!!
Oh Gabe I've Got Happy Tears, Sooooo Proud of You Buddy, You are An Inspiration, Everyday You keep Shining A little Bit Brighter....Shine On Gabe 🌟🌟🌟
Omg... you made me cry... thank you for saying that! ❤😊❤ fr CB NS 🇨🇦 🍁
@@MurphyFarm2014 🤗 You are very welcome have a blessed night and a wonderful weekend 🌹💓
@@tenderprecious Back to you Double, Friend 🥰
@@MurphyFarm2014 thank you 🤗🌹🌞
@@tenderprecious YW 🤗
He feelin' it real deep, his having a blast, just came across this and dont know about his journey but I think music is his language. He feels and hears it real deep!!! The way he bops and goes for the chips thats someone having a good time right there. God bless you. Its my belief Gabe and others like him are diversely gifted and its not them that cant communicate, its us who dont know there is a whole world where things are seen, spoken and understood differently.
This young man deserves the world! Maybe someday he will have it!! ❤🙏❤️
Music is Gabe's superpower. I love how he sings the tones ❤❤
Hi Gabe! I love hearing you sing and talk! :)
Have a great day!
I've been very busy lately. I missed seeing your videos. I am glad I am making more time to watch them again sometimes.
I've been curious how his voice sounds and it's pretty much what I expected. He's a beautiful "old soul".
Yay Gabe!! You go guy!!
Not many people can get complete stranger’s attention without saying a word. Those eyes are so pure and kind! We all just love you Gabe!🥰♥️
nice voice Gabe your so a sweet guy
Gabe is a wonderful boy. God loves him deeply. And me too❤
I haven;t seen anything about Gabe in weeks. This is priceless!❣❣❣
Gabe so nice to hear you. Hay mom's someday there may be words. Wouldn't that be wonderful. God bless. Kathy
It's true I sinced a connect with little Gabe a year ago on your site ...I wish you lady's a strong and plentiful life to share with Gabe. Stay safe,Ricky
You can tell Gabe is enjoying the moment… he’s into the music and his supportive family who loves him .. he’s such a delight to watch. Thank you for sharing with us 😍
My guy is turning 30 this year non verbal, loves to sing, and play his piano and awesome at both
Gabe seems to feel and connect with music. Music therapy was beneficial for a former neighbor's nonverbal son. It was amazing to observe his facial expressions as the music would change.
Oh he definitely loves music and song! He really enjoyed that and yeah maybe the trip outside helped him too. It puts me in good mood anyway. Love and hugs to Gabe and family ❤
I am in awe when I see a pure, true, innocent soul. What an amazing young man! As Elton John sang, 🎶This song’s for you🎶
It’s wonderful that the positive vibrations of musics speak to him. Perhaps this is the key to that door? Music is a Universal language, because it comes from people’s Soul. Music Vibrates Love. This is what he connects with. I think Eric Clapton would be thrilled to know that in a very real sense, his music is healing others…thus changing the world….one beautiful boy at a time❤️🙏
Little changes are unexpectedly beautiful!
His dance and his singing got me in tears, he's such a handsome smart young man♥️God bless him and his loving mommy's
Gosh, what an absolutely beautiful boy.❤
He is such an inspiration
The magic of music works miracles into his being, in his existence, in his persona. Thank God for all these and many more.. that I pray for to happen in His perfect time. Amen..
Gabe is da man !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
God bless him!! I have a 33 yr old asperger's son. He loved myrtle beach as well. We went there 6-7x as he grew up. Your son is beautiful and his voice inside is saying so many things - and singing is one of them. 💙💙💙
Your a Hero Gabe. We love you!!!!!
I worked in a Psych hospital where I had an older lady that we thought was mute, had never talked with us for years, but one day a song from the 1930's or 40's was playing on a record in the Recreation Department and she started to sing the whole song!!!!! When it was over she stopped singing and still did not speak.Has your don ever been exposed to a piano? He has nice long fingers perfect for someone who might play piano! Maybe he has hidden talents that are waiting for the right time to come out! Look at Kodi Lee from America's Got Talent. Check out his story and his talent! God Blessed you with your son for a reason. He knows who He can entrust His Special Angels to!
It’s so nice to see you all enjoying yourselves. We need more chill time in this economy.
I love him because he reminds me of my son. I know how hard your life has been and good job momma
He has the face of an angel...so unbelievably beautiful!
Thank you for not giving up! I watch a lady on FB whose son was diagnosed as nonverbal autistic. He's communicating and doing all sorts of wonderful things the Dr said he wouldn't be able to. Kudos to you and parents who keep fighting the good fight!
