Autism Album Debuts
New York Times
Last spring, I invaded these columns to tell about a local autism awareness music project, SingSOS!, that had been invited to perform at the United Nations. That was a high point on a long and winding road that has now led — at last! — to the release of the “Songs of the Spectrum” album in time for the holidays.
The album features original songs about autism, featuring performances by artists like Jackson Browne, Dar Williams, Marshall Crenshaw and other top names. The music is packaged with a shelf’s worth of handpicked autism resources, including excerpts from books by leaders in the field, all in electronic form.
We have also hit upon what we hope is an innovative distribution model. We have invited nonprofits serving the Autism Spectrum Disorders community to register, and are giving donors the choice of where their money goes.
