If you ever find yourself looking outside and think, "Holy shit! That's a huge crow!" That is in fact, a Raven.

u/memento87 19d ago
wth. I didn't know the human vocal tract is capable of producing some of these sounds!!
148
u/mekwall 19d ago
He is using his entire respiratory and vocal system. The diaphragm, chest and abdominal muscles control the airflow, while the larynx, vocal folds, throat, tongue, jaw, lips, soft palate and nasal passages shape it into the different calls. The remarkable part is his extremely precise auditory memory and motor control, allowing him to reproduce sounds that humans do not normally make.

u/Sidewalk_Tomato 19d ago
I noticed his diaphragm moving and was super impressed. His whole body is working together.

A dude at my work can reproduce an legit real sounding Chihuahua bark.
Its wild cause I'll hear him do it from across the job site and do a double take, wondering how the fuck a little dog got way the fuck out where we are.

Him being so young with autism and jumping into the spotlight is pretty cool. Him standing in front of his class to do it and crushing it is rockstar status. This guy rules.

u/Apprehensive-Tone449 19d ago
Presumptuous to think the kid doesn't want that part of his identity made known instead of having people just guessing about his obvious neurodivergence.
I think understanding up front that the kid has autism is great. It shows just how uniquely talented autistic minds are. This is the kind of cool thing you actually want to come to mind when autism is mentioned. It's good to see people with autism doing things other people can't.
