Hey friends! This is obviously in no way a substitution for therapy, but when I was in this situation I couldn't really find anything that explained my experience or what to do about it as an autistic person. So here's that guide for someone else :)

Hello my dears!
My name is Sydney and I’m an actress/singer-songwriter who writes music about my experiences being autistic, disabled, gay, and in general, a human. My goal is to fill musical gaps and write about things people often forget to make music about. I’m also a vintage enthusiast and disability advocate (among other things). I’ve now released 3 albums and, most importantly, my favorite color is buttercup yellow.
