🎧 Autism & Neurodivergence

I’m Not Crazy, Just Got PTSD” is a defiant anthem by AusticZone — a voice from the workbench, the welding shed, and the storm.

This is not a breakdown. This is a rise.

Fueled by scars, steel, and self-trust, the song calls out stigma, rewires pain into poetry, and redefines survival as strength.

Built from the bones of lived experience.
No fixing needed. No pity required.

Free to record your own version. Just credit AusticZone as songwriter.

I'm Not Crazy - Just Got PTSD

Written for NAIDOC Week 2025 — Dedicated to Linnygirl and all Blak women who carry the flame

Keep the Fires Burning is a powerful cultural anthem written for NAIDOC Week 2025, honouring the strength, vision, and legacy of Aboriginal women across Country.

In the spirit of this year’s theme — “The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy” — this song speaks to the unbreakable fire passed down through Blak mothers, aunties, nannas, and daughters.

It’s a call to action. A chant of survival. A voice for truth.

From missions to marches, from truth-telling to sovereignty, the lyrics carry a story that’s lived, not imagined.

This song is dedicated to Linnygirl, whose kindness and strength helped me survive — and to every Aboriginal woman who lifts her people by simply being who she is.

For the mob. For the land. For the kids watching us now.

Keep the fire burning.
Blak and proud.
Always was, always will be.

Keep the fires burning

“This Is My Meltdown” is a raw, piano-driven power ballad that unapologetically explores the inner world of an autistic woman hitting emotional overload.
It’s not a cry for pity — it’s a demand for understanding, autonomy, and space.
Cinematic, emotional, and unfiltered, this track is for anyone who’s ever been told they’re too much for simply being themselves.

This is not broken. This is not wrong.
This is real.
This is my meltdown.

Written from the perspective of lived neurodivergent experience.
Respect it. Feel it. Share it.

This Is My Meltdown (Just Let Me Be Me)

“AUSTIC Zone” is more than a track — it’s a declaration of identity and a call for trauma-informed care on every frontline. 

Written from lived experience, it tells the journey of discovering autism and PDA late in life, finding clarity, and transforming pain into empowerment. 

It speaks of leading groups, exposing trauma and coercion, and demanding accountability in the places that are meant to protect us — police, paramedics, hospitals, and schools.

The name AUSTIC carries meaning: 
A for Authentic
U for Unfiltered
S for Strong
T for True
I for Inclusive
C for Care. 

Together, it’s a reminder that every voice matters and every life deserves dignity.

This is not a brand — it’s a space rooted in proof, truth, and community. 

“AUSTIC Zone” is shared under Creative Commons so others can sing it, spread it, and use it to raise awareness. All that’s asked is credit to the songwriter and keeping the words true, so the message remains powerful: we see you, we hear you, you belong.

Austic Zone

A spoken-word protest piece from New South Wales, Australia. “Swept Away” gives voice to the pain of welfare checks gone wrong — when police and paramedics arrive without trauma training, treating people as volatile instead of violated. It’s about systems that silence, medicate, and blame instead of asking what’s happened to us. A raw call for dignity, accountability, and change.

This song was written from lived experience.

Swept Away

Burnout or Depression (You’re Still You)” is a deep, emotional piano and ambient track with gentle female vocals. It explores the difference between autistic burnout and depression — two heavy realities often misunderstood. This song shines a light on autism, mental health, trauma, and the need for real support in NSW and beyond. Honest and raw, it’s a call for awareness, compassion, and social change.

Listeners are free to share, sing, or promote this track — but the lyrics must not be changed, and full credit must go to the songwriter AusticZone.

Burnout or Depression (You’re Still You)

“Long Road Behind (Truckie Song)” by Austic Zone is a heartfelt country ballad about love, loss, and letting go with grace. Sung from the female perspective to a life-long truckie, it is both a farewell and a blessing — asking him not to turn back, but to keep rolling on. 

The song uses the long road as a metaphor for a relationship’s end — carrying memories, closure, and the hope of peace ahead. It’s not angry or bitter, but reflective and kind, a universal farewell that speaks to truckies and to anyone who has had to say goodbye with love still in their heart. 

This track is released under Creative Commons so it can travel further. You’re welcome to download it, sing it, and share it with others. All I ask is that you credit Austic Zone as the songwriter, and keep the lyrics true. Together we can let the song roll down new roads and reach more voices.

Long Road Behind (Truckie Song)

“This Should Be Care” is a song written about the trauma caused by police responses in Australia — when people in crisis reach out for help but are met with fear, force, and violence instead of compassion.  

It’s a voice for the vulnerable: the autistic, the mentally ill, the distressed — and the families left to pick up the pieces after “care” turned into control.  

This isn’t anti-police — it’s pro-accountability.  Police need Traum informed care.

It’s a reminder that “protect and serve” should never mean “hurt and silence.”  

This song is written from lived experience.

If you’ve ever watched the system fail someone you love — this one’s for you.

This Should Be Care

“Misunderstood” by Austic Zone is a heartfelt acoustic folk-pop ballad about autism, honesty, and the courage it takes to admit when you don’t understand. Led by warm fingerpicked guitar, light percussion, and an intimate female vocal performance, the song strips away pretense and focuses on truth.  

The lyrics highlight the harm that comes when people pretend to understand instead of asking. It’s a reminder that care and connection grow through honesty: saying “I don’t get it, but I want to” is far more powerful than guessing.

“Different is Brilliant” by Austic Zone is a pop-folk anthem about celebrating difference, neurodivergence, and authenticity. With driving acoustic guitar and strong female vocals, the song declares that what others call “strange” is in fact powerful, brilliant, and free.The lyrics speak of hyperfocus, sharper senses, truth without masks, and building brighter worlds when the old ones can’t contain you. 

This is not an apology — it’s a declaration: different is brilliant, walk in proud. It’s an anthem for anyone who has ever been told they are too much, too strange, or too intense, and turned that into strength.

“Autism Suicide: One in Four” by Austic Zone is a powerful acoustic ballad confronting the reality of Autism Level 1 and suicide risk. Too often dismissed as “mild,” Level 1 carries one of the highest risks of suicide — with one in four having attempted, and even more living with daily thoughts of it. 

This song turns statistics into truth, reminding us that every number represents a life, a struggle, and survival. It is a call for awareness, for change, and for valuing every autistic voice. 

Released under Creative Commons, this track is free to download, sing, share, and perform. Please credit Austic Zone as the songwriter and keep the lyrics true.

Autism Suicide: One in Four

“Healing Won’t Make Me Like You” is a melodic indie-pop song about autism and healing from trauma — the quiet, lifelong process of unlearning shame and reclaiming your true self. It’s not about becoming “normal” or changing to fit in, but about finding peace in authenticity after years of masking and misunderstanding. 
With soft female vocals, emotional depth, and an uplifting tone, the song speaks for those who are learning that healing doesn’t erase who they are — it helps them finally feel whole.

Healing Wont Make Me Like You

This song explores the painful truth many autistic adults face in therapy — when the system treats their autism as something to fix, not something to understand.

"Therapy Isn’t Safety" is an educational and emotional piece about the need for identity-affirming, trauma-informed care. It gives voice to those who’ve been misunderstood, blamed, or retraumatized by professionals who didn’t listen.

This song reminds us that real healing doesn’t come from masking or being told to change — it comes from being seen, accepted, and supported as who we truly are.

Therapy Isn’t Safety

We Are Patients is a spoken-word anthem for Australia’s medicinal cannabis community — a powerful, human reminder that patients are not criminals. Across the country, people use medical cannabis legally to manage pain, anxiety, PTSD, sleep issues, and chronic illness, yet still face stigma, discrimination, and outdated drug-driving laws.

This track calls for compassion, reform, and evidence-based policy. It speaks for parents, workers, veterans, and neighbours who rely on cannabis as prescribed medicine — not as a crime. Every line is grounded in truth: cannabis helps people live with dignity, maintain employment, and participate fully in their communities.

We Are Patients supports the broader movement for legal access, drug law reform, and equal rights for all Australians using plant-based medicine. It’s a voice for safety, fairness, and inclusion — created to educate, empower, and inspire positive change.
