Although not strictly a song or video, the film “the Nuns Story” starring Audrey Hepburn, who plays Gabrielle Val de Mal (Sister Luke), the daughter of a famous scientist in the Belgian Congo, shows our experiences with Autism in a very good way - while Sister Luke struggles with the vow of obedience, despite going on the Missions to the Congo, she ends up leaving the Convent many years later - I got into it because I recall as a child going with my Mum (who herself was raised by Catholic Nuns as a child) and to hear the Sisters reciting (chanting) the Divine Office in Latin and I’ve always liked listening to monks and especially nuns singing in Latin - it’s perhaps why after I returned to my Catholic faith 15 years ago, I taught myself to pray the Rosary in Latin and now get to attend the Traditional Mass in Latin at a church nearby
