Melody Guy: Finding Connection Through Autism and Artistry
Melody Guy shares her extraordinary journey as an autistic singer-songwriter who has traveled over two million miles despite the challenges of sensory issues and PTSD. She reveals how music became both her shelter and her bridge to connecting with others when words failed.
• Diagnosed with autism as an adult around the same time as her son
• Survived childhood sexual abuse starting at age nine and a kidnapping at age 19
• Found her voice through music after escaping a controlling marriage that prevented her from singing for ten years
• Created "red threads" of connection through music demonstrations at Guitar Centers across America
• Developed coping strategies including a mental "switch" that helps her perform despite sensory challenges
• Working on her 11th music project which includes songs about autism like "Invisible" and "Life in the Spectrum"
• Discovered her "superpower" in co-writing songs with other trauma survivors through music therapy programs
• Advocates for fellow autistic individuals to embrace their differences and clearly communicate their boundaries
Tell everyone everywhere about Why Not Me? The World, the conversations we're having and the inspiration our guests give to everyone everywhere that you are not alone in this world.
