Rawan, Jackson, Spenser, and Ron are the four members of The ASD Band. Although they are all passionate about music, they also have something else in common: they are autistic. Bursting with enthusiasm and creativity, they will introduce you to life on the autism spectrum. From recording their debut album to producing their first-ever live performance, these young men are breaking down prejudices and demonstrating that despite the individual challenges they may face, together, anything is possible.
