Adin Boyer - American Idol, autism and anti-bullying advocacy
Manage episode 463445832 series 2794628
Diagnosed with autism at age 2, Adin Boyer grew up struggling with being bullied, making friends and accepting himself. He finally began to flourish while attending a performing arts middle and high school, when he faced less bullying and leaned into his musical talent and training in classical piano, choir, opera and music theory.
Adin gained widespread international notoriety as a contestant on season 21 of American Idol, where he advanced to the top 55. Now Adin performs locally and on tour, with solo and full-band indie rock performances, and speaks to audiences about autism acceptance, neurodiversity affirmation and anti-bullying advocacy.
During this episode, Adin talks about:
- His multi-year struggle to accept himself after being told about his autism diagnosis at age 12
- Being bullied and misunderstood in elementary school, and how attending a performing arts middle and high school helped his personal growth and friendships
- Getting involved in music at a very young age and how his biggest musical inspiration (Coldplay) shaped his songwriting
- Being cast for American Idol and how his unique experience on the show influenced him as a performer and advocate
- The system he developed to manage his energy and routine when he is on tour
- How his anti-bullying talks resonate with kids across the United States
(Note: During this episode we use person-first language like "has autism" and “on the spectrum” when discussing Adin’s experience, because this is how Adin prefers to describe himself.)
Learn more about Adin, his music and his autism advocacy on his website AdinBoyer.com, on Instagram @adinboyer, on his BandsInTown profile for his upcoming shows performances, and by email: adinboyer [at] gmail.com.
