“I love music. It sets everything in me alive. Every hair stands out on end. I feel like there's a box in my heart, a secret, hidden part of myself. I keep so many things locked inside that box so that no one else will ever see. And when I listen to music, alone in my room with my giant headphones on, the box flies open and all of the colours spill out and somehow merge with the music. I love the feeling. All of my masking and my reservations leave and the hidden parts of my soul come out.” MusicEmotionsAutismMasking Book:Show Us Who You Are Source: Show Us Who You Are
“I put my headphones on. I let my favourite songs wrap around me like old friends. The music acts as a soothing balm after a lot of stimulation.” MusicAutism Book:Show Us Who You Are Source: Show Us Who You Are
