This is my band from when I was in high school. I'm autistic and my bandmates had disorders as well. It was extremely fun and a great way to be a part of my local community and meet new people without feeling out of control or out of place.

Autistics Speaking Day 2013!

Rayn posts "Autistics Speaking Day 2013!" on AcidRayn.com. Trigger Warnings for lyrics that describe oppression, violence. (If the music doesn't play properly here, it is available on the original post, so see link above)

In honor of Autistics Speaking Day, I would like to share with the public some of my music, lyrics, performances, and videos as a Hip-Hop artist on the Autistic Spectrum. My involvement in Hip-Hop music stands out as the single most important factor involved in helping me to build the confidence I required to start fighting back strong against my severe social phobia, and finally begin publicly expressing myself as an Individual – from music networks, to social networks, to the stage and live audiences, to my very own website!

Autistics Speaking Day for Musical Autists

CJ Diachenko posted Autistics Speaking Day for Musical Autists on www.themusicalautist.com and has opened the site up for Autistic Musicians to share their music.


In honor of Autistics Speaking Day – Ms.CJ would simply like to express her heartfelt dream and determination that this blog, one day, will be a site where autistics can have a place to share their music. To have an avenue for self-advocacy, without the threat of being exploited by the media.

What do I mean by “exploited?” You know like, the way many NTs can be towards Musical Autists.  For example, “Oh look at how musically talented they are, even though they have autism….”

Have we heard that before?  Yes.  Is it right for them to push the YouTube clips in hopes that it will become viral and give the Musical Autist (99% of the time, this being a cute autistic child) 15 minutes worth of fame?  Is that all there is?

What if the Musical Autist had a central platform for self-advocacy?

We are more than just another passing fancy.

Give us time to grow.  To get our technology skills in order. You will hear from us. Especially on days like today!  These musical gifts are gifts from God. They cannot be ignored, trivialized or infantiled.

Tudor Acid

Richard Wigglesworth has shared his music, Tudor Acid, and his song Glass in particular, for ASDay.  You can listen either here or here.
