Autism sufferer Li Xiang-xuan – using music to compose a symphony of life

A flowing musical composition with catchy piano notes and an effortless melody is what autism sufferer Li Xiang-xuan (李尚軒) has managed to achieve. Not long after he was born, it was found that Xiang-xuan had a high level of bilirubin - jaundice – and consequently had to undergo two blood transfusions. After many tests and examinations, he was found to be suffering from G6PD deficiency , which led to brain injury. As a result, Li Xiang-xuan was diagnosed with a very heavy form of autism. However, Li Xiang-xuan was not about to bow down to fate and began relentlessly studying piano, winning numerous awards. Li Xiang-xuan’s style of piano playing exhibits his optimistic attitude to life, and he intends to continue playing, composing his own symphony of life.

自閉患者李尚軒 用音樂譜出生命樂章 ( 長榮大傳系 )

跳躍的鋼琴聲，輕快的旋律，流暢的樂曲，這是過動型自閉兒-李尚軒所演奏出來的。剛出生不久的尚軒，因為黃疸指數過高，去醫院換血兩次，檢驗得知患有蠶豆症導致腦部受傷，因而被診斷為極重度過動型自閉症。但不向命運低頭的尚軒，從小就練得一手好鋼琴，榮獲了無數獎項。尚軒彈奏的音樂中說著他對生命樂觀的態度，也將繼續用音樂彈奏屬於他自己的生命樂章。
