World Autism Day is on April 2nd and April is Autism Awareness Month. Hits Differently is excited to celebrate and recognize the autistic community and discuss how impactful Taylor Swift’s music can be for a person with autism.

In this episode, Molly and Ryan are joined by author, keynote speaker, and award-winning branded content creator Melanie Deziel. Melanie was diagnosed with autism in her early 30s and discovered Taylor’s music shortly after. She has written about “the way that many autistics and other neurodivergent people feel especially connected to Taylor Swift’s music and deeply seen by her lyrics”.

Melanie shares her personal experiences of how she has connected with Taylor’s music and joins us for our “Tay Therapy” segment where we discuss submissions from swifties with autism who shared their own stories.

Please read Melanie’s newsletters on Taylor Swift below and connect with her on social media! We hope you enjoy this episode.

Taylor Swift posted on social media for the first time in 100 days… (but baby, who’s counting?) Molly and Ryan discuss why swifties think Taylor was sending us a message and how it lines up with a lot of other recent clues. Ryan puts on her (metaphorical) reputation clown wig and adds her notes to the Mirroball theories pointing to 3/28 that Molly discussed in the last episode. Finally, get an update on Ryan’s big cross-country move after her breakup and hear from swifties who have been through a similar experience in our Tay Therapy segment.

Taylor Swift truly has a song for everything and anything you might be going through in your life. Her music helps us to process our own emotions and gives us comfort in the fact that we aren’t alone in those feelings. This is why we created Tay Therapy - it’s an opportunity for us to share how we relate to Taylor’s music and for swifties to share their stories with us as well. In this episode, Ryan shares how one specific song from Tortured Poets has been the light at the end of the tunnel for her during a difficult period of her life.

Although The Tortured Poets Department was nominated for 5 GRAMMYs, Taylor Swift ended up going home empty-handed. As much as we wish this album received the recognition we think it deserved, the lack of awards can’t take away from how much TTPD meant to all of us. Molly and Ryan share YOUR stories of how the songs from Tortured Poets impacted your lives.
