Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects one in 68 children in the United States today. Some of the prominent features of this disorder are: social and communication deficits, difficulty maintaining and establishing relationships, and abnormal communication behavior. There is no cure for this disorder, which is why music therapy is an “evidence-based” treatment method that is used to relieve patients' symptoms and quirks. Music therapy encompasses elements of “meaningful and flexible” treatment modalities, as musical experiences are inherently structured, yet creative. Individuals with ASD demonstrate enhanced sound and/or melodic perception, such that they understand and appreciate music more than the average human being. Most ASD patients aged 5 to 22 years showed strong activations of cortical speech and auditory areas when exposed to singing. These areas coincide with greater activation of fronto-posterior networks, suggesting that people with ASD can better process musical stimuli and that music may contribute to learning curve deficits, including social skills, which are often the most difficult side effect to control. The structural rhythmic component of music provides the skills needed to help ASD children organize, predict, and respond to the environment..
