The Musical Autist is a place where neurodiversity is celebrated and respected!
Our mission is to provide access to the arts and platforms for self advocacy for musicians of all ages and abilities on the autism spectrum. Our vision is to create places online and within the community where neurodivergent musicians and artists are celebrated and accepted, through venues where there is opportunity to work, perform, and build relationships. We’re a 501c3 nonprofit organization that started Sensory Friendly Concerts in 2011. Our other programs include Empowerment Jam Sessions and Musical Autist Troupe.

Elevating Autistic Musicians
Exciting news! Since July 2020, we have been steadily working on a new program called Elevating Autistic Musicians (EAM). This donation and sponsorship based program is designed to provide jobs to autistic musicians as content writers for this website.
The goal is to not only provide income for these individuals, but also to elevate the music, stories and platforms of other autistic musicians around the world.
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, The Musical Autist has pivoted away from doing the live music events we are known for, Sensory Friendly Concerts and Empowerment Jam Sessions. And although we are sad about that, we are looking forward to this new season.
Be sure to catch up with our blog, we already have amazing new content written by and for individuals on the spectrum.
If you are interested in having one of our content writers showcase your story, please contact us.
