Talented drummer who never speaks to her music teacher

An 11-year-old girl who stopped speaking to her parents for a year is a talented drummer.

The only person Grace Tedeschi would speak to - in a whisper - was her younger sister.

Having been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, Grace still only talks to a small circle of people. But her dad Mark says music allows her to interact with the world around her.
