Autism Partnership's Autism Awareness Online Campaign
My City, My Sounds
A joyful showcase of talent celebrating the unique ways children on the autism spectrum hear, feel, and create sounds.
Every city has its own familiar sounds — train announcements, shop chimes, favourite songs, and everyday tunes. Many children with ASD are especially drawn to these tunes, sounds and songs and may enjoy them in their own unique way.
To promote autism awareness, we invite families to share a sound your child loves from your city, and the object or source connected to that sound.
How to Join? (It's very simple!)
1. Choose a sound your child loves
This event is about understanding and celebrating how children experience their world. It can be:
A city sound
(e.g. train or MTR announcement)
An everyday sound
(e.g. shop entrance chime, lift sound)
Music, ride sounds, or any familiar sound in your city
2. Share it in your child’s way
-
Take a video of your child singing or humming the sound
(e.g. Disneyland’s “It’s a Small World” ride)
-
Film the object or location while your child makes the sound
(e.g. traffic light or pedestrian crossing sound)
-
Take a photo of the object and include the sound
(e.g. convenience store entrance chime, recreated with an instrument)
There is no right or wrong way to participate — any way your child enjoys the sound is welcome.
3. Post and tag us on social media
📱Post on Instagram or Facebook
✍🏼 Include a brief description of the sound in the caption!
