21 Songs That May Help People With Autism

When it comes to Autism, almost all parents and caregivers for children with Autism have heard about Music Therapy. Music, like we know, transcends borders and languages, it’s more of a feeling than a performance. People with Autism can experience overwhelming sensory stimulus due to various reasons like a crowded room, a loud TV, strong smells and aromas, fluorescent lighting etc. Music has been professionally used to help calm individuals with sensory overload, however, sometimes it can make matters worse, hence, it is important that you consult a specialist and also ask your loved ones with ASD if playing a particular song is helping them or not. The following list of songs is a compilation and extraction from The Mighty’s Blog. They asked Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) readers what music they prefer listening to when experiencing sensory overload and this is the list they got. We hope that these might help you or your loved ones.

 

 

  • Somewhere over the Rainbow – Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole

 

  • Twenty one pilots: Ride (Video)

 

  • Sesame Street: Will.i.am Sings “What I Am”

Here are a few songs that are often recommended to help individuals with autism, whether for relaxation, emotional expression, or sensory development:

    “Weightless” by Marconi Union – This ambient track is scientifically proven to reduce stress and anxiety. Its calm tones and slow rhythm create a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great choice for relaxation.

    “Clair de Lune” by Claude Debussy – The gentle piano melodies in this classical piece are known for their calming qualities. Many individuals with autism respond well to classical music because of its structure and predictability.

    “Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley – With its soothing vocals and emotionally expressive melody, this song can help individuals connect with their emotions in a gentle, non-overwhelming way.

    “The Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel – The quiet, reflective nature of this song can be a grounding experience. Its simple, acoustic arrangement may be especially helpful for individuals who are sensitive to more intense or complex music.

    “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles – Known for its uplifting melody and positive message, this song can help improve mood and bring joy, offering a sense of optimism and comfort.

    Incorporating music into daily routines can foster communication, social interaction, and emotional well-being for individuals with autism. Every person is unique, so it’s important to explore different genres and types of music to find what resonates best.
