Music, like we know, transcends borders and languages, it\u2019s 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 <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mighty\u2019s Blog<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They asked\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autismconnect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Autism Spectrum Disorder<\/a> (ASD)<\/strong> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Somewhere over the Rainbow &#8211;
