This song was initially written for an amazing family in NYC (my friend Vanessa, with 2 boys on the Autism spectrum) after I discovered the challenges, red tape, and judgment they've had to go through to get education, after school programs, treatment, and even just information for their children.
We want to honor, inspire, and join together our amazing friends, neighbors, family, and colleagues on the Autism spectrum. Our goal is to raise awareness, and funds, to help Autism programs and services. Since its release on iTunes, organizations from the UK to California to Canada to Florida have used the song in videos, walks, events, and more!

I have autism... I cried.. 😢
You just made this big guy cry. Sometimes I feel alone in the spectrum. I have family who refuse to accept my condition and continue believing I'm a horrible person. Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone in this struggle for acceptance.
Same here
My family doesn’t accept I have autism either. Prayers for you. We are in this together
I'm sorry you're family is not there for you. I pray for you all an sending love from my family to you. Just know there's people out here that is fighting for you all. I'm not fighting for just my son I fight for everyone that's on the spectrum.
Hey man your the person God made you to be stay strong your family will accept you one day
I know how you feel exactly also got autism it sucks I know
@@satishconcepcion9914 I have autism but I am fighting for change myself and we all shall stand together to fight
I have autism, and its hard, I also have a depression and anxiety,... people say I am arrogant and have two faces, they first tell me that I am a good man and that they will listen, but they eventually insult me and basicly tell me that they do not need me anymore (even family like my stepsister.)
WHY ISN'T THIS SONG VIRAL YET!?? 4 YEARS LATER AND IT ONLY HAS 66 THOUSAND VEIWS

This song made me cry! I have autism and it took them years to diagnose me as it was HFA (High Functioning Autism) doctors could hardly classify my until my 9th grade of high school. That was when my therapist and other doctors I seen for anexity, depression, nervous breakdowns, put the pieces together. I suffered through the year with no friends. I stayed in the back of a classroom hiding. I exceeded in history but failed in math. They diganosed me at fifteen with Asperger and to this day I struggle. People constantly baby me. Asking me if I 'need' help. I want them to know I can 'do' whatever but it takes me more time. Now, I am going to college online at 20 years old to be a preschool teacher. I never been so proud of myself.
this is awesome i too was diagnosed late as i am very high functioning, i was twelve, and suffered years of bullying and not fitting in, flash forward 8 years later and i am now in my second year in college also studying to be a preschool teacher, and i have all these friends, just came across this song and as i am a dancer i want to do a solo to this song for world autism day
I have the save autism as well

I’m an autistic child and I’ve been trying to tell this exact message for years
I am so glad you found the song. Thank you for sharing this video with your community!
@@CassandraKubinskiI have been working on a autism presentation it’s titled autism and not that sterotipycal nonsense it’s currently 1026 slides long now it’s close to 1800 slides
AUTISM IS A SUPER POWER
yes it is!! thank you for being here and watching my videos!
My son recently got diagnosed with autism and I’ve been grieving and finally have come to terms with it. I love him and so much and I just want him to be happy. I don’t see his diagnose, I see my son. He is just like everyone else and even more ❤️
I'm a late diagnosed autistic adult at 26 last year September and this song is so relatable
Really glad you found it, and grateful it resonates :) please pass it on to anyone who could understand the spectrum a little better by hearing it!

Thank you for being here to share it! There are a few videos for this song on my page and I'll release a new one this month, subscribe to see it!
@@CassandraKubinski ok thanks 😊
Thank you for this, Cassandra. I am the father of a 12-year old boy with autism. Right now I am smiling so hard, and my eyes are blinded with tears. Thank you for this beautiful song!!
💙
This song is incredible , made me cry ! My brother has Autism and this song said it all, were all not so different !
Dear Cassandra Kubinski
my name is Paolo Zampiceni, I live in Italy and I am the father of an autistic boy.
I loved your song and your wonderful energy!
thanks!
sending this straight up to heaven to Stanley... he wasnt so different.
This song is so beautiful! It helps me feel represented and proud of my autism. My mum always says to me and my brother ( both autistic) that autism is an ability. My mum knew that I had autism when I was about 10 but my senco teacher said girls can't have autism. But my mum persisted when I moved to secondary school and I finally got my diagnosis at 13. I moved out this year to do engineering at uni and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the support and patience from my parents.
Thank you for sharing your incredible beautiful story here! You are blessed to have amazing parents. Thank you for finding Not So Different, and please pass this video along to others in your community who would appreciate it!
Thank you for this song!
You are welcome! I'll be releasing more songs to empower us soon! Follow here for notifications! Thank you for being here.
@@CassandraKubinski thank you!! Looking forward to them!
My son has got Autism, great song crying at this
thank you so much. feel free to share the link with your community and we can continue to encourage everyone to be more loving, compassionate, and curious when it comes to Autism.
I really like it so much I love it because I think that autism is not a
disability or disease I think it is how God made them😂😂😚😚😍😍😃😃
I love this song. My son has Autism and this song brought tears to my eyes.
Amen!! Love the song and it is so true!!
You rock!!!!! When I heard this song, I realized that it's what I've been trying to say. You use your talents in a wonderful way. Thank you for helping people understand Autism.
THANK YOU for this beautiful song. I LOVE IT!
thank you so much. I have aspergers and am a major advocate for nurodiversity, acceptance not cure and and just recognizing the beautiful gift that autism is. thank you! this song is ...so perfect! i cant say enough good things about it. thank you.
"Words don't come easy, but I hear everything you say." it hits hard because in a small town, people either forget or don't acknowledge that autistic people understand more than their preconceived idea of our understanding
You are absolutely right. Thank you for saying that. I'll be uploading new versions of this song soon, feel free to subscribe to get a notification when i do!
I love it I'm autistic and this song brought tears of joy to my eyes
My tears kept flowing listening to this beautiful song and watching the video. EMPATHY is the key that unlocks the door into the world of AUTISM

If you are not affiliated with and/or endorsed by Autism Speaks, then I sincerely extend my apologies.
I think this video is absolutely amazing, and as a Fellow Singer, though not a solo artist, yet :) I was very disappointed when I saw Autism Speaks attachment to this project during it's creation; I was even coming to the Church where it was being filmed. I live in Brooklyn :)
So, I would humbly suggest that you have your Management, Publicist and Media Representatives make there are no ties, of any kind, to Autism Speaks and yourself and your artistry and management, as it relates to this video, because, as you know, the Media is a very powerful tool and Myself and Millions of other Autistics around the World, will not support you!
Beautiful Video. Let's get the Right Message Out There about Being Beautifully Gifted Autistically, because I Am, and so are Millions of My Autistic Sisters and Brothers, of multiple races, ethnicities and cultures, worldwide, Are Too 💜
Bob Wright of Autism Speaks and Cure Autism NOW is dead Wrong about Autism! 👼
+Cassandra Kubinski
I rly dont hope your cooperating with autism speaks in ANY WAYS. Cuz i heard rumors that its a BAD organisation because they work to find a CURE to autism cuz they want to extinxt it (from whan i've heard) witch is WRONG! There is no cure for autism, and there isn't supposed to be one either. I personally think autism is a part of who you are. So if you get cured, i would no longer be who u was. Just imagine me becoming a complete stranger from being cured! No matter how much i hate being autistic sometimes i would say NO if i was asked to be cured coz i don't even know if i woule be me anymore. So plz plz don't support them! I really feel nasty about them..... No offence tho! Im just trying to let u know why u should'nt support them. I still love u Cassandra! But plz say ur not supporting them! (gosh! I got worried now :/)
Yeah asking me if I want a cure is like asking me if I would change myself.
Like hell no I'm good being me 😀
Squiddy Boi Thats exactly what i mean! Finally someone who gets my point!
Cassandra Kubinski Good! AND DON'T COOPERATE WITH THEM IN ANY WAYS!!! EVER!!! Unless u wish to extinct autism and our many personalitys....
I love the energy level of this song! I found that most songs about autism tend to be a lot more reserved, which I understand but I really appreciate how this shows a different perspective on autism
Thank you! Yes, everyone should be celebrated - with high energy! Thanks for subscribing to my Page and passing on this video!
These songs mean a lot to me
Good song!
love it
As someone that's autistic this song makes me so happy because it doesn't imply somethings wrong with me like all the other songs are
Amazing and beautiful
My dad got me diagnosed when I was 7 didn't tell me until I was 13 said I said I didn't believe him at 7 and he said he dosent believe i have it and every time people talk about treatment and reasons we get it that's fake I'm secretly clenching my fists and if given the option of actual treatment i think we are autistic for a reason if someone took away my autism i would say your taking away my personality and replacing it another thing they dont have that we are able to feel is the understanding and the refreshing feel of meeting other autistic people we belong to a community of hard working people who have to work incredibly hard to earn what we have some of the most famous people belong to this community so I'm proud that I'm autistic
I am proud of you too. Thank you for being YOU so genuinely! I'm excited to share more uplifting songs and videos with you, so please subscribe to my channel if you'd like to see them!

I have anxiety and friendship trauma as well but when I meet other people with autism it feels like a gift I might not even know if they are autistic but I always have a feeling and its amazing and im lucky because my friends would normally be very annoyed by people who do stuff like fidget but they know im autistic and one of them even has a brother who has it my brother isnt as nice when it comes to autism he makes fun of me for having it i put up with stuff from diffrent people every day and im asexual i hate some people who think its funny to try to use this stuff to make Me uncomfortable im always open to making friends no matter where your from or who you are even if you just want someone to care ill be their

Cassandra Kubinski I have already shown everyone in my family (my brother is getting annoyed at me playing on repeat haha!) It is such a great song and feels like it is written about me. I will show it to everyone I know :)

What an incredible song that reveals so much about Autism. My son will be 30 in a few days and this song made me cry. I will never give up because nobody knows all he is capable of.
Thank you Cassandra.
Thank you Lauren. I'm sure your son is incredible! So glad you're here. Hope you'll subscribe and join our upcoming YT live events.
I have autism and this made me start screaming and chewing a table, I accidentally ate a plastic cap and now I’m struggling to breathe, we are the same.
I only just got diagnosed yesterday, at 29...maybe now folks can finally understand me.
Thank you so much for writing this Cassandra.
You are so welcome! Thanks for finding it. Please subscribe so you can see my new music videos coming next yr :) and wishing you the best on this new journey.

Totally inspired by your video, Cassandra! I have an 18-year-old son who is amazing and autistic! He is a young man of great talent and strength with a heart of gold. He's studying to become a professional ballroom dancer here in LA. I am a songwriter/musician and autism advocate. I think that you & I are "not so different". I'd love to get to know you better! And who knows; maybe we'll have the opportunity to work together some time!
Albert Einstein would not have made his amazing discoveries if he had been "normal"
Thank you for this song. I’m on the spectrum, and have started university. I can tell you, it does feel alienating because it’s such a big environment, but this helps me feel that I am not alone. Thank you so much for this!!
