Episode One

Guardian journalist John Harris's life-affirming account of how music became a lifeline when his son James is diagnosed with autism.

Obsessed with music since childhood and listening to anything he could get his hands on, it was no surprise when John Harris became a music journalist - but he had no idea that he was in fact preparing himself for the greatest challenge of his life. For when his son James was born, and three years later diagnosed, with autism, music transformed from a passion to a lifeline, a source of precious connection that would transcend words.
