About the KDS team

KDS

Music creator, writer, autism advocate

The person to start it all, Kalin is the founder of KDS (which stands for Kalin Digital System).  Kalin was diagnosed with autism at age 2 1/2, but the challenges with having autism won't stop his humor, happy spirit, and creativity. Although he does not play a single instrument due to his fine motor and processing delays, KDS creates on the computer as if he plays every instrument.  Now as a young adult, KDS wants to spread autism awareness and acceptance as an advocate for people with autism.  KDS wants to share his "idea of autism" through his talents with as many people as possible!
