Dawn Mitchell White says, "Musical emotions aren't understood the same way as regular emotions.

Musical emotions are easier for children with autism spectrum disorder to grasp because they are less socially complex." Dawn unpacks music's superpower in developing emotion recognition, management, and expression in those on the spectrum. Links and notes related to
