7-Year Old Autistic Child Sings National Anthem

gina7-year-old Gina Incandela sang the national anthem for the Orlando Magic before their home playoff games at Amway Arena. Little Gina is an Autistic child, but that didn’t stop her from doing what she really wanted to do.
Talk about inspiration.
This little girl has the type of powerful voice you would expect to be coming out of someone at least 3 times her age and about 3 times her body weight.

Gina Marie was diagnosed with autism just before the age of 2. She could not even speak until she was 3 years old and now at age 7 she is singing National Anthems at professional sports games and concerts across the country. Her parents sent her to a school for kids with special needs as she had trouble forming words when attempting to speak. But her teachers at the school used music to help her with her language skills. I bet they had no idea what gift Gina had in store for them.
