James Durbin was a finalist on the tenth season of American Idol. James Told Autism Speaks, ” Right around the time when I was diagnosed, I got a hand-me-down guitar with a chord book and a cheap busted tuner. I didn’t know what I was doing, haha. It’s all about focus and for me, not only on the Autism spectrum but also the Tourette’s spectrum, focus was something I needed help with. Music is my focus”
