Inspiration on The Rachael Ray Show.  
       

On January 18th, 2007 the Rachael Ray Show aired an inspiring story about a California father and two sons, one affected with autism, whose discovery of music changed their life for good.

 

Sawyer Goodson, who at age 6 was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism, found himself isolated socially from the other school children. He and his brother, who suffers from

 
 

sensory integration issues, were ignored or taunted by their peers. Their dad intervened and came up with the idea for the brothers to form a band because he had read about music promoting brain development. For them and their parents, music changed everything.

 

Through their music, the two brothers were able to find a socially acceptable way to communicate and connect w/ fellow students and the world. Also, being in the band has helped Evan's speech impediment and with younger brother Cameron's severe autism too.

Their band, Jet Fuel Only, whose members include sixth and seventh graders, host sold out performances in the area surrounding their hometown, Chico, CA.
