This song was initially written for an amazing family in NYC (my friend Vanessa, with 2 boys on the Autism spectrum) after I discovered the challenges, red tape, and judgment they've had to go through to get education, after school programs, treatment, and even just information for their children.
We want to honor, inspire, and join together our amazing friends, neighbors, family, and colleagues on the Autism spectrum. Our goal is to raise awareness, and funds, to help Autism programs and services. Since its release on iTunes, organizations from the UK to California to Canada to Florida have used the song in videos, walks, events, and more!

[@rosemarie1943]

This song made me cry! I have autism and it took them years to diagnose me as it was HFA (High Functioning Autism) doctors could hardly classify my until my 9th grade of high school. That was when my therapist and other doctors I seen for anexity, depression, nervous breakdowns, put the pieces together. I suffered through the year with no friends. I stayed in the back of a classroom hiding. I exceeded in history but failed in math. They diganosed me at fifteen with Asperger and to this day I struggle. People constantly baby me. Asking me if I 'need' help. I want them to know I can 'do' whatever but it takes me more time. Now, I am going to college online at 20 years old to be a preschool teacher. I never been so proud of myself.

[@sarahstanfill7790]

this is awesome i too was diagnosed late as i am very high functioning, i was twelve, and suffered years of bullying and not fitting in, flash forward 8 years later and i am now in my second year in college also studying to be a preschool teacher, and i have all these friends, just came across this song and as i am a dancer i want to do a solo to this song for world autism day

[@Nickolas_brat]

"Words don't come easy, but I hear everything you say." it hits hard because in a small town, people either forget or don't acknowledge that autistic people understand more than their preconceived idea of our understanding

[@nosteah]

This song is so beautiful! It helps me feel represented and proud of my autism. My mum always says to me and my brother ( both autistic) that autism is an ability. My mum knew that I had autism when I was about 10 but my senco teacher said girls can't have autism. But my mum persisted when I moved to secondary school and I finally got my diagnosis at 13. I moved out this year to do engineering at uni and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the support and patience from my parents.
