Autism Awareness

I know we post a lot of music on here and many of the songs have some fairly ridiculous, derogatory lyrics. But the point of the site was never to tell you what to listen to, or what you should think is quality music; it was to post a plethora of songs across many different genres hoping that one of the many songs we liked you might enjoy too. We post songs and keep up the site because we love music. It's really that simple. So to see something like this, with music making such a difference, is quite inspirational. Autism is a terrible disorder that affects, in some estimates, 6 out of every 1000 children born. Most of us probably know someone, or have had contact with someone with the disorder. I have had a great deal of experience working with many children and families that deal with the struggles that accompany the disorder on an everyday basis. It is not easy. But to see these parents fight for their children despite the hardships they endure is pretty amazing. To see the remarkable gifts many of the children posses despite their handicaps is astonishing. So I encourage everyone that reads this site to do what they can to help. It doesn't even need to be a charity like autism, it can be anything where people just need some help. Whether it be gifting money or your time try to give back. We can all do and give more. Thanks for reading all this nonsense. And yes I still think Katie Perry is terrible, just a little less terrible.
