Inside: Listen to ten beautiful songs that will teach you how to spread the word of love, especially this World Autism month.
In the morning, on waking up, my son said, ” I will never sleep with him again. ” He was referring to his cousin, Nathan, who has Down syndrome and Autism.
This happened a few years ago, when we visited my sister’s family. Nathan is non-verbal, but very clingy and sweet. He loves to rock back and forth, all the time, so much so that even at bedtime, he would do it, so his bed got broken one time and was replaced with a sturdier one.
Of course, with his 2 cousins in the same room that night, maybe Nathan got excited and did his ” rocking, ” before finally being able to sleep, which did not allow his cousins to sleep well.
People with autism are usually misunderstood. They have a life long disability that affects how they communicate and relate with others and how they experience the world around them. It is about time to learn how to spread the word of love to these unique individuals in our midst.
April 2nd is World Autism Acceptance day. Organizations all over the world celebrate on this big day and the whole month of April to do autism-friendly events and educational activities to foster understanding and acceptance of people with autism.
Worldwide support is done by lighting blue landmarks, buildings, homes and communities in recognition of people living with autism.
Musicians all over the world have made and performed awesome songs to celebrate this month.
Likewise, listening to songs about autism uplifts people with ASD and their families and inspires others to learn how to understand them.
I have found really beautiful and inspirational songs that speak about autism. Songs that were written and performed by musicians, ordinary people with families who have autism, and even young people with ASD.
Ten songs that will touch your hearts, like they touched mine, and will open up your minds to accept and understand these kids and adults with autism. Awesome songs that will teach everyone how to spread the word of love about autism, beautiful songs to celebrate world autism day on April 2nd and same day every year.
Sit down and enjoy the videos and sing with the artists – I have written the lyrics below the videos so you can follow.

1. Beautiful Blessing
This song, written and sang by Chelsea Stepp, was inspired and dedicated to her youngest sister who was diagnosed with autism at age two.
She considers this song her most important personal accomplishment because the organization “Autism Speaks,” used it as promotional material, thus Stepp performed it at the annual Summit for Autism in Washington.
Chelsea Stepp is a singer-song writer from Warfield, Ky who started singing when she was 3 or 4 after her parents bought her a toy karaoke machine. She started playing the guitar since she was 14, not really serious at first, but with constant practice, got better with her craft.
She auditioned for ” American idol,” when she was a teenager and won ” Big Sandy Idol,” an Eastern Kentucky-based competition.
Here’s the inspiring lyrics, which spreads autism awareness and how we need to acknowledge that kids with autism are misunderstood a lot because they can’t express how they feel.
” You mean what you say, just can’t say what you mean
Bottled up inside your head, and bursting at the seams
Trapped inside a world that’s all your own
Your thoughts roll in like waves crashing on the shore
Time is ticking, time is ticking, time to pace the floor
Back and forth to find the place where you belong
Beautiful blessing, beautiful curse
Things could be better, but things could be worse
Give me your heaven, give me your hurt
Beautiful blessing, beautiful curse
Act like I understand, but if I told the truth
I couldn’t stand as tall if I were in your shoes
Everyone needs a hero, and here you are
Beautiful blessing, beautiful curse
Things could be better, but things could be worse
Give me your heaven, give me your hurt
Beautiful blessing, beautiful curse
2. Not So Different
Cassandra Kubinski, the singer/songwriter, wrote this song for her friend Vanessa, who had 2 boys with autism spectrum disorder.
She learned that this family had to overcome challenges, red tape and judgement to get education, after school programs or just collect information.
Their goal is to raise awareness and solicit funds for autism programs and services across the UK, US and Canada.
Listen to this beautiful song and follow singing with the lyrics below.
” I can be sunshine
Even when all you see is rain
I can be silence
Inside I’m calling out your name.
Words don’t come easy
But I hear everything you say
Reach out and touch me
I need to feel your heart today
So don’t say that I’m in the dark, ‘coz you can’t see my light.
It takes every colour in the spectrum to make the world so bright
If we want to understand
We all must learn to listen
Love speaks in a million ways
And in the end we’re not so different
Yeah, yeah
We’re not so different
Yeah, yeah
It can be hard I know.
When all you wanna do is help
But just I’m learning everything I need within myself
It takes a village, it takes a will, it takes some work and it takes time
Discovering slowly, growing the world that is in my mind. “
Lyrics: Valerie Foley
Music: Fiona Johnson
Artist: Scott James
This song tells how a person with autism feels and looks at the
world around him. That through his eyes, he sees things differently than us.
That knowing how he feels and sees things, maybe he has fears, but we just need to understand him, and guide him to overcome his fears.
The lyrics are so powerful. Sing along with Scott James and feel how an autism person feels, so you can see the world through his eyes and be more accepting of his world.
” See the world through my eyes
It changes shape and it changes size
It’s not quite the world you see.
If you could find a way to look around inside my mind
Maybe you would understand me
I’m not blind, but I can’t always see
I’m not deaf, but things can sound strange to me
I’m not trapped, but it’s hard to feel free
Imagine what it’s like to be me
Imagine what it’s like to be me
It’s hard for me to try to think things through or talk like you
Everything can be a blur sometimes
But if you walk along beside me, hold my hand and guide me
Together any mountain we can climb
‘Cause I’m not blind, but I can’t always see
I’m not deaf, but things can sound strange to me
I’m not trapped, but it’s hard to feel free
Imagine what it’s like to be me
Imagine what… I’m dreaming of my future and it’s brighter than you know
I’ll get there on a different road when I am ready to go…
I don’t need pity, I don’t need tears
I just need someone to help me understand my fears
Tell me you believe in me, let me know that I’m OK
Help me feel safe in the world and I will find my way
‘Cause I’m not blind, but I can’t always see
I’m not deaf, but things can sound strange to me
I’m not trapped, but it’s hard to feel free
Imagine what it’s like to be me
Imagine what it’s like
Imagine seeing the world through my eyes.”
4. If the World only Knew
Lyrics and music by Scott Evan Davis, in collaboration with the students of p94 Spectrum school.
Performed by Ilan Galkoff, 12 year old, who said, ” I am not autistic but I chose to sing this song because I love the message in it. It is a song about people with autism wanting to be the same as everyone else and not to be told they can’t do things because of their disability. I have been fortunate enough to appear in a few West End Shows. I love singing, art and raising money for charity. I hope you enjoy the song and will believe in yourself enough to show the world what you can do. I have a wonderful cousin who is autistic and I dedicate my song to him. “
Check out the lyrics and sing with Ilan.
“Every day seems like the day before
Keeping to myself but wanting so much more
I could be a painter
Or in the hall of fame
I can almost hear them calling out my name
But when people look at me
That’s not what they see
If the world only knew what I could do
They would be astounded
If the world only knew what I could do
I would be surrounded
If the world only knew what I could do
Maybe I’d be free
If they could see there’s so much more in me
I put up my guard to deal with fear
When things get too hard then I disappear
I wish that I could tell them
And make them understand
Being different wasn’t something I had planned
But when people look at me
They don’t want to see
If the world only knew what I could do
I would be respected
If the world only knew what I could do
I would not be rejected
If the world only knew what I could do
Then I could be free
And they would see all that I have in me.
I would show them all that everyone is different
I would stand up tall instead of run away
If there was no world I’d have nothing standing in my way
Then I would be still only me
If the world only knew what I could do
I would shine in glory
If the world only knew what I could do
I would tell a different story
If the world only knew what I could do
Finally they would see
I am just what I’m supposed to be. “
Lyrics and Piano by George L. Rodriguez
Sung by: Racquel Roberts
Rodriguez has a son who was diagnosed with autism at 3 years old, and was already 18 and high spirited when he wrote this song in 2014.
The first line, ” I look at you with your angelic face, ” was inspired by the photo of his son when he was 3.
This moving song is dedicated to children, parents and people who are living with a unique life experience, which maybe different and misunderstood by others.
” I look at you with your angelic face
A beautiful child a bit out of place
Sure you’re different if that’s all they see
Yet given the chance you can be so much more.
Caring people will open up doors
In my eyes you’re perfect to me
Everyday things others easily do
Language and play come so hard to you
Still step by step each moment is brand new.
So take my hand and I’ll lead the way
With laughter, love, patience, faith
When we believe our dreams can come true
I’ll never give up on you.
Sometimes your blue skies will suddenly rain
Like ripples of water not exactly the same
People will stare hon, you needn’t explain
For your life’s a story, the world is your stage
Just be yourself, no matter your age.
To all the critics you’ve got nothing, nothing to prove
So take my hand and I’ll lead the way
With laughter, love, patience, faith
When you believe your dreams can come true
I’ll never give up on you.
How did it happen this global mistake
1 in 100 is too much to take
Questions to answers, answers are keys
Unlocking this mystery
Here are your keys.
So baby take my hand and I’ll lead the way
With laughter, love, patience, faith
When you believe your dreams can come true
Your life’s a story, the world is your stage
Just be yourself no matter your age
This is your time take it!
To yourself be true
I’ll never give up
No I’ll never give up
No I’ll never give up on you
I’ll never give up on you
Love You.”
6. Unstoppable: A Song for Autism
Singers/Song-writers: Tommy Byrne & Isabella Guerriero ( 2018 )
Tommy was in his 20’s when Anthony, his cousin, was diagnosed with autism. His parents brought him for stem cell treatments and gradually he improved and became more verbal and was able to go to school.
Anthony has been a source of great joy for their family and he was nicknamed “Unstoppable Anthony” ( thus the title of this song ) because of how he can change people’s lives-with random hugs to strangers in restaurants or jumping on their laps with a laugh and a big,wide smile.
Tommy thought of some of the song’s lyrics and melody while on his way home on a train and he went to visit Anthony the next day where he asked his sister, Isabella, also Tommy’s god daughter, who was 7 at that time, to help him finish the song.
Isabella got her crayon and paper and wrote the lyrics and was done after 25 minutes. Anthony’s dad also helped in the chorus part and reminded them about how he communicates.
They hope that this song can be a voice for people with any disability, including autism.
The important message of their song is, ” We hear you.”
” I know you get frustrated, trying to tell us what you want to say.
I know it’s not easy for you, but that’s okay.
When you go through hard times, you’re not by yourself.
We don’t like it either and all we want to do is help.
We see the words in your smile.
We see the joy right in your eyes.
When something in your world goes wrong.
Remember to stand up and be strong.
Remember to stand up and be strong.
Life is one big ocean, waiting there for you.
Don’t be afraid of those waves, just jump right through.
We all believe you can fly, if you really want to.
Just remember you can do anything that you want to do.
We see the words in your smile.
We see the joy right in your eyes.
When something in your world goes wrong.
Remember to stand up and be strong.
Remember to stand up and be strong.
We see the words in your smile.
We see the joy right in your eyes.
When something in your world goes wrong.
Remember to stand up and be strong.
Remember to stand up and be strong.
Remember to stand up and be strong.
Remember to stand up and be strong. “
7. I’m in Here
Artist: BJ McKelvie & Cathy Hutch
This song is sung from the point of view of a child with autism as he communicates with a loved one.
That he wants to reveal himself as he tries to find a way to show who he really is and all he needs is acknowledgement that he is just here and just wants others to see the world through his eyes.
” With every breaking dawn
A brand new child is born
Someday they’ll be full of hopes and dreams
It won’t be very long until they move out on their own
‘Cause that’s the way life’s supposed to be.
But something isn’t right
There’s a lost look in their eyes
They’re crying out
“Why can’t you just see?”
I’m in here
When the joy turns to crying ( crying )
See the world through my eyes
For just a moment in time
I’m in here
Oh don’t you know I’m trying ( trying )
To find a way to show you who I am
So through the years
Through triumph and through tears
These are the one who make their own way
They touch you deep inside
Where your love just cannot hide
Just open your heart and hear them say (hear them say )
I’m in here
When the joy turns to crying
See the world through my eyes
For just a moment in time
I’m in here
8. Missing Pieces
Written by Mark Leland/ Tim Calhoun in 2008
Artist: Mark Leland
Tim Calhoun is the father of Nathaniel, who was diagnosed with autism. Together with his friend and protegee, Mark Leland they wrote this touching song that brings the listener to the struggles of having a beautiful baby go through neurological challenges in the first few years of life.
This song encourages everyone to do their part in helping families with the overwhelming task of raising a child with autism.
“ It was a mid December evening
In a room of heavy breathing,
When I looked into my little baby’s eyes,
And like the ships that sail the ocean,
He had captured my emotions,
Wrapped them up just like a gift
At Christmas time.
I thanked the Lord above that he was mine
I prayed to God that everything was fine,
After months we saw him changing,
Nathaniel’s speech was rearranging,
So we took him back to see what they could find
And after ironing out the creases,
They came up with missing pieces,
And they told us that autism’s on the rise,
I looked into my little baby’s eyes,
I promised him to find the reasons why.
Now I lay him down to sleep
I pray the Lord my son could speak,
And make him strong, where he is weak
This I ask of you…
And just like him, there’s many more
That need our help to win this war,
Cause who knows what might lay in store,
To help them make it through.
The doctor says, there’s so much more to do,
To put the pieces back together,
But it’s up to me and you.
So now we lay down to sleep
And pray the Lord they all could speak,
Please make them strong, where they are weak.
This we ask of you…
Cause now we know there’s so many more
That need our help to win this war,
And who knows what might lay in store,
To help them make it through.
Yes, who knows what might lay in store,
The missing piece is me and you..
Hello Dad. “
9. Through the Spectrum
Written and performed by Carla Bianco
This is an ode to mom through the eyes of an autistic child, how the kid feels his mom’s unconditional love.
” When I was two years old
You saw something special
They couldn’t see
You did everything you could, mom
To reach me.
You opened the door
When the world shut me out
You showed me how I didn’t need to be more.
And You turned on the light
And taught me to smile
I just see things a different way.
I can see the world
Through the spectrum
Everywhere a rainbow
Like an anthem
When they try to see
Through my point of view
That’s when they will see the colours, too
If they could see what I see
They would get to know me differently
But you know what’s behind these eyes, mom.
What I’m feeling
Yes, you’re the one who really knows me
A mother’s love is what showed me.
I can see the world
Through the spectrum
Everywhere a rainbow
Like an anthem.
When they try to see
Through my point of view
That’s when they will see the colours, too.
Oh I see everyone is beautiful
I feel the pain inside your heart
I see everything is luminal
Like a band of colours.
Thanks to you.
I can see the world
Through the spectrum
Everywhere a rainbow
Like an anthem
When they try to see
Through my point of view
That’s when they will see the colours, too
Through the spectrum. “
10. Let Me Shine
This song was created in 2017 in collaboration with Oxford band Low Island. It was written by Low Island’s Jamie Jay and Carlos Posada.
It was performed by staff and young people with severe autism from Prior’s Court, a specialist residential school in West Berkshire. Most of these young people are non-verbal with severe challenges.
The message of the song is acceptance and understanding of people in the spectrum, thus “Accept me for who I am and let me shine. “
This song ( with the lyrics below) is so moving and is proof of the achievements of the young people at Prior’s Court and how they shine with the support of their therapists.
” I have made a connection
A special bond
I help you paint with your own colours
To your own rhythm
Every day is different
Here we aim high
And everyday is always full
Of laughter and light
One step at a time
Stand next to me, walk by my side
You and I are friends for life
Stand next to me, walk by my side
Accept me for who I am ; And let me shine ( 2 x )
Accept me for who I am ; And let me shine ( 2 x )
I’m not broken , I am unique
So all I want is for you
To believe in me
We’re all proud
To be part of this place
And we will teach each other
Something new every day
One step at a time
Stand next to me, walk by my side
You and I are friends for life
Stand next to me, walk by my side
Accept me for who I am, and let me shine ( 2x )
Accept me for who I am, and let me shine ( 2 x )
Repeat 4 x more.
Let’s Come Together to Celebrate the World Autism Acceptance Day

If I have touched a person’s heart with these songs, then I am happy that I am able to participate in the celebration of world autism awareness day on April 2nd and for the years to come.
In putting out these songs I know that I am fulfilled and inspired to show how to spread the word of love to people and kids around us with autism.
After all, they just need our understanding and acceptance.
Do you have somebody in the family or anybody that you know who have autism? Which of the songs remind him or her to you?

Hello, Such a tender article, I loved the lyrics too. I have few people around me who have children with these especial way of being and I know how their life is , these people are full of love and full of talent too. I appreciate that you walk trough in this beautiful way. well done.
Hi Ela,
Thank you for your nice words.
Love and support are so important for our children in the autism spectrum.
God bless,
Marita
Marita,
I think it’s really wonderful that there is an autism acceptance day, and that you are trying to help raise awareness. It’s important to remember that people with autism see things through a different lens than most of us. The kids I have worked with, with autism, through coaching, were extremely nice, sweet kids. They needed some extra patience and guidance, but were such a joy to be around. These songs really help to remind us how people with autism are feeling, and how we can show love and respect towards them.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for your nice words and for supporting our kids with autism.
God bless,
Marita
What an amazing article. This time of building awareness about autism and those on the spectrum is so important. I am retired now, but I spent many years working with developmentally disabled children and adults including those with autism. There view of the world was often amazing. As the CEO of a company that provided behavior intervention for people of all ages, we developed an inclusion program which helped autistic people learn to function without trepidation with non-autistic people. The amazing thing was that those who did not have autism learned to enjoy the company of those who did. We ran the program at various clubs. All the kids, adults and staff grew. I have not listend to all this music but I have book marked the article so I can go back to those I have missed.
Hi Anastazja,
You’re lucky to have worked with developmentally disabled children and adults, including autism, and having witnessed how they touched their caregivers and people around them in so many ways.
They definitely need the understanding and unconditional love, not only of their families and caregivers, but everybody that they encounter.
The songs are so beautiful, they impart lessons of how these kids/people with autism react uniquely with their environment and how we need to interact with them and embrace everything that they are.
God bless,
Marita
Thank you for promoting more awareness for people with autism; because of their condition which causes them emotional confusion and the inability to express their feelings, they are misunderstood by others. I believe that love must be the universal key to help to unravel the lack of understanding of many in the world today. The song, “What the world needs now, is love sweet love,” is so true if one is talking about unconditional acceptance and the constant striving for reconciliation and peace. These songs are very inspiring and really causes the hearers to reflect on the trauma, but also sresses the many positives. A curse and yet a blessing sounds contradictory and yet it seems to resonate through the music!
Hi,
Very true! People in the spectrum are so misunderstood and our unconditional love is the key for them to be more open hopefully to express themselves.
Thanks for reading.
Marita
Many make the mistake of saying that autism is a disease. Children with autism are different children and a litlle misunderstood. I think more needs to be said and written about how people can really understand what it really is. It is nice that there are texts like this that will help families with autistic children.
Hi Bojana,
Thank you for being open-minded about children with autism. Definitely, they are just like anybody, but just wired differently.
Appreciate you for reading this post.
God bless,
Marita
I deeply appreciate this beautiful article. The songs are amazing. I have spent that last 20 years helping to provide services for developmentally disabled children most recently acting as CEO of a company that provide inclusion therapy for autistic kids. We worked with Boys & Girls clubs to help the child with autistic learn to enjoy the club and help the typically developing kids understand and enjoy the kids on the spectrum. I have been working also to develop a program to teach inclusion techniques to companies so that they can hire developmentally disabled people. You must remember Kodi Lee. He represents to me all the gifts and experience that can so easily be overlooked or ignored. Thanks for this article.
Hi Anastazja,
You have an amazing job which allows you to feel proud of helping those autistic kids to shine and become their best.
I actually don’t know Kodi Lee, but I have googled him after reading your comment and listened to him perform. I will research more about him. Thanks for the heads up.
I would like to know more about your job and probably feature in this blog.
Cheers,
Marita
There are some incredibly beautiful songs and lyrics here, and they are going to make World Autism Awareness Day extra special. I especially enjoyed Cassandra Kubinski. She has a beautifully haunting voice and the message is equally lovely.
I actually didn’t even know today was Autism day until I came across your post. Thank you for this as it really brightened my day to hear so much talent all in one place, and thank you for sharing this with the world.
Hi Michel,
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the songs and you were made aware of this special day today.
All our autism families need our love and support.
Please share this post with your families and friends.
Thanks and God bless,
Marita
The first I want to do is try to share this great article with some of my friends.
The website is really nice and I have learnt something tangible from this well detailed article on using music to spread love.
I could not really see the video for ” Not so different “. I love the lyrics of that song.
Thank you for this post.
Sorry that you were not able to view the ” Not so Different, ” song. I am actually playing it now.
Thanks for reading and sharing.
Marita
Right now, I can tell that this is a really good one.
I should first commend the input of effort in making this superb website with nice features and also writing an article on how to spread the word of love.
I would really need to add these songs to my playlist as this is what we need now during this crises that we are currently facing.
Hi Benny,
Right, these songs are so inspiring, not only to families with ASD but to uplift us all in this time` of COVID-19 pandemic.
Keep safe and I do appreciate your nice comments.
Marita
Spreading the word of love to the people around you is very vital as it helps you show them that you really care.
Using songs has proven to be one of the most efficient ways to show your concern.
I really like your selection of songs, they are really nice…thanks for sharing.
Hi David,
Songs really express how you feel about people whom you love, including kids with Autism spectrum disorder.
Thanks for reading and leaving good comments.
Marita
I never thought that there were really any songs made for people suffering with autism. I have a friend of mine I met 3 years ago back in college and I think he will really like this article so I might as well share it with him as he is also suffering from this. Thanks for the review I wasn’t even aware that the 2nd of April is a special day and without this review I doubt I was going to share any love at all. I like the vision.
Hi Donny,
Glad that you got valuable information from this post.
Thanks for sharing to your friend.
Cheers,
Marita
I think music is the best way to spread the word of love. And you just listed some beautiful song collections here.
I love ” Through my Eyes”. It is the perfect illustration, from this song we get to see the world as an autistic is seeing it, we then understand he/she better and love them more.
Thanks for sharing
Music is definitely a universal language which is able to convey valuable information and able to reach out to everyone to spread the word of love especially for kids and families with ASD.
Glad that you read my post!
God bless,
Marita
Hey Marita!
This is the worthiest article I read all day and that I loved to spend time reading it, and learning more about 2nd April, which is the World’s Autism Awareness day. And that is beautiful.
The lyrics of the first song you recommended from Chelsea Stepp with the lyrics ” Beautiful blessing, beautiful curse” are a true blessing for everyone who has any relative with Autism, as they are true heroes and blessings, indeed.
Some of the most beautiful article I’ve read in a long time.
-Heku
Hi Heku,
Thanks for the nice comments.
Cheers,
Marita
It is really good to show some love to the less privileged. It could be frustrating not to be able to communicate like way other people does. But showing love to these ones will go along way in making them know they are one of us and they mean alot to us. I love the songs and lyrics posted. They are emotional and touching, filled with love. Come April 2nd let’s show love. Thanks for this article.
Yeah, love is all that matters to our family and friends who are in the spectrum.
God bless,
Marita
This is a great article.
Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication and by restricted and repetitive behavior.
The collection of songs are really inspiring; I love the songs: all! They (the songs) inspire and motivate us to show love and compassion to the people with this rare but serious disorder, which is/was never their fault!
If you have seen an autism patient you will understand better and appreciate the author of this article and the music’s.
Let me shine is my favorite. Let us all believe in them and let them shine!
Hi,
It seems that your life has been touched by somebody with autism. It is really a humbling experience.
With our love and support, these people with autism can really shine in their own ways.
Thanks for visiting.
Marita
Wow, this is really a great site. I don’t think I’ve seen a subject on autism every laid out quite this way. Very inspirational and I just saw some of the other topics you wrote about and they highly relate with some instances in my own life. Can’t wait to share with some family members!
Hi Thomas,
Happy to know that you’re finding my site helpful and relatable.
Thanks for sharing with your family.
God bless,
Marita
It’s so sad that most people do not know anything about autism or the trauma those suffering from it pass through every day of their lives. The stigma and the reaction of people worsen the whole case and makes autism patients more withdrawn and lonely. I think every one should join hand and celebrate the world autism awareness day. Let’s ring the message in every corner of the street, let the whole world know.
People like us who are aware of the need for understanding those in the spectrum really need to act together to inspire everyone to show love and acceptance of people with autism.
Let us all join the universe on April 2nd to celebrate World Autism Awareness Day.
Thanks for reading.
Marita
Spreading love and words of love is the primary responsibility of us, mothers. As a mother I preach love and such love is not only preached towards the healthy child only.
Every second of April is world autism day, but I say it should be every day of the year.
The lyrics of these music in your post touched my heart. And I believe we can do more for the autistic child everyday of our lives.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for your nice words.
Definitely everyday we need to be aware of the people with autism and show understanding and acceptance to them. Only then will it make their life easier and happier.
And of course, a mother’s love is unique and our kids learn from us big time.
God bless,
Marita
It’s safe to say you’ve probably heard about autism, the range of developmental disorders that make life a challenge for millions around the world. Over the past decade, awareness of its existence and methods of helping those who suffer from it have made great strides forward, with much greater understanding being evident throughout the world.
I’m sure people are aware of its existence. but still many don’t understand how and why individuals with autism react to their environment, thus the need for more awareness.
Thanks for reading.

Some beautiful songs listed here with beautiful lyrics.
I love this type of music as it is uplifting and leaves one with a special feeling when listening to it.
I hadn’t heard the song not so different before, but it was so touching that the singer wrote it especially for her friends two sons who have autism.
Thank you for this post to make us stop and think of those with autism who are battling to communicate with the world around them.
Hi Michel,
Thanks for the appreciation.
Each song has a different story or background, but all of them touches our hearts and makes us aware that people with autism need our understanding and acceptance.
God bless,

Love is the most powerful force in the world. An act of love can be understood by all languages, even without necessarily speaking.
These songs are inspiring, and there’s a lot still for us to do about autism awareness. Autistic children are just like us too, and we ought to show them as much love as we can.
Hi Louis,
You said it all! Thanks a lot.
God bless,
Marita
Hi,
This is an insightful post.
Not everyone can care for children with autism disorder. It is a service that requires patience, love and hard work.
You made my day listening to these wonderful songs and also reminding me about the world Autism awareness day coming up on 2nd of April.
The lyrics from Chelsea’s beautiful blessing is quite touching. I love Anthony’s story and happy to see that his condition improved.
Happy to know that the songs inspired you and awakened your awareness for people with autism.
Thanks for taking the time to listen.

My cousin’s son was diagnosed with autism when he was about five years old, I’ll really have to pass the link to this article on (she’ll love it!).
This is a really lovely collection of songs that cover the subject , and I was particularly taken by the song and lyrics performed by Scott James. Great article and a really nice subject to cover (made a refreshing change!).
Hi Chris,
Happy that you appreciated the collection.
I’m sure your cousin will be touched by the songs.
Have a nice day!

Beautiful songs! During this time, I’m thinking of learning how to play the uke with my daughter. I just have one big problem though – I’m a lefty. The music stores have limited staff to re-string the ukelele. 🙁
I hope to play even just one of these songs someday. Hopefully.
Regards,
Odette
Hi Odette,
That’s a challenge for you, but for sure you can hurdle it. Good luck!
Thanks and God bless,

Wow, awesome songs for an awesome cause.
I have never head any of the songs before, they are really touching, as it really inspires the love and compassion for people
with autism . Thanks for putting this list together, a really uplifting list.
Music is really a universal language with high capability of making a huge change.
Hi Etah,
I know, music touches our hearts in so many ways, especially showing our love and understanding to people with autism.
Thanks for the appreciation.

I so much enjoyed these songs, most especially the song titled “Not so Different ” by Casandra Kubinski. The lyrics of the song is born out of creativity and I got emotional when I dissect the lyrics in my heart. This song can even make the cold minded to rise and join the world in the celebration of the World Autisms Day. It is good to spread love always.
Absolutely!
Love needs to be felt by people in the spectrum and everybody has the capacity to give this love by understanding and accepting them.
God bless,
Marita

I love music more than sports and games. Thanks for taking your time to write out these 10 songs.its a great job. BeSt regards
Music is a universal language that all people can understand.

Thanks for reading.

Nice article there on how to spread the word of love. I must commend you for all the inspirational songs in the article,they are really great. There are people in this world that are suffering from one disorder or another, we should always show them love one way or the other to tell them that they matters and not discriminate because we can’t say what the future holds for us even if we are strong and healthy today
Thanks for being open to love people in the spectrum.
All the songs inspired me to understand more these individuals and accepting them is all that matters.
God bless,
Marita
Thanks for this amazing post, I must say that i am touched by the lyrics of most of the songs written on this article i listed to some of them that it almost made me cry, I think I need to bring myself to caring for as many as those autistic come. April and after April they deserved to be loved. Thanks for putting this out there. Good job
Yes, April 2nd calls us to be aware that there are lots of people around us who are in the spectrum and of course, we need to continue our awareness all throughout.
Touching your heart with theses songs means that you have more understanding of them.
Thanks for visiting.
