Jul 02, 2019 by apost team

UK celebrity Katie Price is a mom to seventeen-year-old Harvey who has a rare medical condition known as Prader-Willi syndrome and severe autism. In addition, Harvey also suffers from partial blindness. Given these medical conditions, Katie was delighted to have audiences hear what he can do with a keyboard in his hand and a supportive family behind him.

"Autism's Got Talent" began as an idea by Anna Kennedy, the Autism Ambassador for Options Autism. They aim to offer the care that those suffering from autism need in order to thrive and take their place in society. The talent showcase hosts those affected by autism to display their musical, dancing, and acting skills.

For his contribution, Harvey wanted to play the crowd a little music on the keyboard. According to Metro, he has been playing since he was four and in that time, his mastery has only increased by leaps and bounds. Since seeing the show at The Mermaid Theatre in London, he was inspired to join in himself. This year, the young man's musical talents were on full display at the St. Ives Theatre in Cornwall.

Harvey Price's abilities and life struggles have been introduced to audiences in the United Kingdom before. His mom tried to explain his condition to others and show that it need not lead to a lifetime of disability. Unfortunately, his Instagram account was not treated kindly by strangers on the net. Over the course of several years, he gained over a hundred thousand followers, happy to see what the young man had to say.

However, he was also the victim of cruel and inappropriate remarks. He and his mom were subject to many abusive remarks that insulted the young man's looks and his mother's decision to share his picture with people. In the aftermath of this trolling Katie Price gained the support of many Parliament members in her attempt to criminalize such behavior, reported The Sun.

Watching the young man play his rendition of "When The Saints Go Marching In" with such joy and expertise brought tears to the eyes of many observers. Katie Price was the host of "Autism's Got Talent" last year so her return with her son this year makes the event even more special for her. She looked on with pride as her son demonstrated his obvious love of music and his ability to convey that to an audience. His ease with his instrument lit up the stage and brought audience members the understanding they were seeing something truly special.
