A parent drops you off at the Spectrum Laboratory Studio for the first time. You walk through the parking lot, a little overwhelmed and anxious but encouraged to try this new experience. As you enter the studio, one student introduces you to the Spectrum Laboratory and a few students who begin singing and playing music together. The tour turns into a cornucopia of sound and color as everybody sings together about overcoming the challenges of autism through art. As the song comes to a resolution, you find yourself in the middle of a beautiful, diverse, loving family who is ready to embrace you as one of their own.
