WELCOME TO NICHOLAS KRISHNAN'S WEB SITE

Nicholas Krishnan is a high school senior and is a member of the band, choir, swim team, and track team (and has been awarded Varsity Letters in each).

Since Nicholas has absolute pitch, Nicholas' school day is enhanced with online coursework presented by the Berklee College of Music located in Boston to build upon his gifts.

Outside of school, Nicholas snow skis, water skis, and is a member of the Orion Community Drummers, a world percussion performance group. He loves going out to dinner, concerts, and other events with his friends.

Nicholas also has autism, which many would describe as being "severe" on the autism spectrum. He was born a sweet, bright, and adorable little boy. He talked and played very early in his development.  Tragically, a little before Nicholas was two years old, he lost all of his language and ability to gaze at others. He began manifesting autism-related behaviors and soon thereafter received medical and educational diagnoses of autism.

The only time that his family could hear his voice was when he would sing. The only time that his eyes would connect with others was when they were drumming together.

After many years, Nicholas regained some language, enough to make his basic needs understood. Although conversing remains an ongoing challenge. Online learning environments and social networking opportunities have filled a much needed void for Nicholas. 

At home, Nicholas is a loving and fun child to live with. His parents adore him and are very proud of everything Nicholas does and how hard he has worked to become the young man he is today.
