A Young Autistic Man's Symphonic Odyssey

God gives each of us gifts.

Many of us do not realize our gifts in this life, yet we are blessed with using the few we develop.

ALL people are image bearers and have God's gift of creativity, mentally challenged in some way perhaps the right words to describe people's physical and mental difficulties escape us.

Jacob Rock shows us what God's gifts bring to our world through him.



A Young Autistic Man's Symphonic Odyssey

"Twenty-year-old Jacob Rock is a non-verbal young man with autism who quietly composed an entire six-movement symphony in his head. After struggling to communicate for much of his life, he learned how to share his ideas via an iPad app with musician Rob Laufer. The two created the symphony "Unforgettable Sunrise," which was premiered last year by a 55-piece orchestra from the University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. Correspondent Lee Cowan talked with Rock and Laufer, and with Jacob's father, Paul, about a remarkable musical odyssey.
