Autistic teenager wows the internet with incredible singing voice
An autistic teenager with an astonishing singing voice has won thousands of fans on the internet but dreams of meeting her idol Ed Sheeran. Ashleigh Fagan, 17, is partially sighted and cannot read or write music, but she does not let her disability hamper her. The gifted schoolgirl can pick up a song by listening to it repeatedly and rapidly works out how to play it on a guitar, practising in her bedroom. She can even play the harp and tin whistle, but along with a visual memory which helps her to learn song lyrics she has a crystal clear singing voice.
