Loud noises were terrible for him so he was unable to listen to music. He would immediately cover his ears. He would become disturbed and would sometimes go into a crisis. Autism spectrum crises can be terrible because sometimes he would hurt himself or bite others.

Gabriela shared, however, that one day all of that changed drastically after Arturito started listening to BTS’s “Fake Love” and Jin’s “Epiphany.”

One day, he started humming something that I couldn’t understand. It was then that we realized it was a song called ‘Fake Love’ by the K-Pop group, BTS. We put it on the television and he was happy to watch it on the big screen. He turned up the volume, which was something he was unable to do before.

That surprised me a lot and we all cried a little bit. It may seem like a small thing, but to us it was a huge achievement.
