A Paralyzed 12-Year-Old-Boy Wrote a Christmas Song...By Blinking

Posted by Rachel Leigh on

Adam Bojelian of Edinburgh, Scotland has cerebral palsy and he's almost completely paralyzed. The only way he can communicate is by moving his eyes. But, Adam wrote a Christmas song just by blinking.

He didn't have any special software, just help from his mother. She held up a list of Christmas-themed words and Adam picked which ones to include by blinking. He also was able to blink to spell out words on his mother's list.

Adam has won poetry contests before and this was originally supposed to be a Christmas poem. It's about an army of gibbon monkeys helping Santa Claus deliver presents.

Actor Ewan McGregor found out about Adams poem and helped him turn it into a song, which is now available on iTunes.
