Episode description

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.
