Calling all Musical Autists!

Today Ms.CJ had the honor of attending one of the pre-release showings of the film, Wretchers & Jabberers. This took place at AMC Theatres in Columbia, MD, which is the locale of the very first Sensory-Friendly Film.  We are freshly inspired to launch our Sensory-Friendly Concert Series on May 14th, less than 20 miles away, in Millersville, MD…at the church across the street from Ruth Parker Eason School.

Here are two phrases from the film that we embrace and incorporate into our everyday vocabulary:  ~Presumed Competence~   ~More Like You Than Not~

This film is revolutionary and gives much hope for the future.

Take a look for yourself at the possibilities.

Let it be known! This URL address is for people on the spectrum, and for people who care about people on the spectrum. If you are musical and on the autism spectrum, you are a musical autist! You don’t have to have any musical training, the only requirement is that you LIKE music. We want to celebrate our musical abilities and our uniquenesses. Many of us have perfect pitch and synesthesia….let’s put that to good use. Let’s create music that is BY us and FOR us. Let’s communicate musically to those of us who have not yet gained the ability to speak or type for themselves. Let’s create music for the sake of music, because it is a universal language and it moves the soul. Let’s inspire one another towards self-advocacy and let this webpage be our platform.

For example: we’d like to introduce you to our totally rockin’ awesome new musical autist friend, Nicole.

She has Aspergers Syndrome, perfect pitch and synesthesia and plays 25 musical instruments.
you can follow her blog for yourself right here.

You will have the privilege of hearing more from Nicole around here, she totally rocks.

You don’t have to be a savant like Nicole to submit your music. We just wanna hear from you. Send us your links thru our social media connections. If you need help deciding what to share, Ms.CJ is a music teacher and she can help you.  This is a place for you to discover self-advocacy and she wants to encourage and help you in that growth process.

So, are you a Wretcher or are you a Jabberer? Either way, you are welcome on this site. You only need a heart, an open mind, and a love for music..
