Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder which comes under the umbrella of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) . The symptoms become apparent in early childhood, typically before age three. Common symptoms include difficulty with communication, difficulty with social interactions, obsessive interests and repetitive behaviours. 

Hypo sensitivity – ignoring something they don’t like/want

Hyper sensitivity- urges to want something

Children with autism have sensitivities but despite the senstivities they find music interesting and like music a lot. Out of the odds autistic children are good at timbre. For example, a child with autism like a particular music and does like a new music with the same genre. Suggestion like autistic children with patterning ability and find that music interesting , music is universal language and they can understand it;   pitch , beat and tempo are liked by them.

People on ASD are often especially intrested in and responsive to music because music is movitating and engaging, it maybe used as a natural “reinforce “.

From the informations we can infer that musical therapist can built skills that, lower anxiety and even develop new communication skills .
