But for Katrina Aguilar, a professional singer on the autism spectrum, “The Little Mermaid” gave the Rancho Peñasquitos resident not only her voice but the career of her dreams. Aguilar was nonverbal when she was initially diagnosed with low-functioning autism at age 3 Then, she said, the colors, music and magic of the animated undersea tale made her want to express herself to her parents so desperately that at age 5 she started to talk and, eventually, sing. Now 32, she’s a vocal performance graduate of the Boston Conservatory.” Read the full article in The San Diego Union Tribune.
