We broadcast live from the Nashville Palace for a special remote podcast supporting "An Acoustic Evening for Autism," bringing together musicians who share their personal connections to autism awareness.


• Jamie O'Neill describes how having a cousin with autism inspired her participation in the benefit concert

• Jamie emphasizes the importance of slowing down in our fast-paced world to accommodate different needs

• Minnie Murphy reveals her 5-year-old son is on the autism spectrum, sharing his special abilities like perfect pitch

• Minnie performs original songs celebrating individuality and seeing the beauty others miss

• Both guests praise Vanderbilt's Kennedy Center for their exceptional work in autism research and treatment

• Our guests emphasize autism shouldn't be viewed as a permanent condition but as a different perspective

• The conversation highlights how patience, active listening, and embracing differences creates understanding


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.
