In a gesture of positivity and hope, Spectrum of Sound, a 12-member virtual choir featuring autism self-advocates, recorded and released a cover of “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers.

The choir, which operates remotely, due to social distancing guidelines, released a previous video — a cover of the song “We Are the World”.

According to the description in their latest video, the choir aims to showcase the talents of autism self-advocates.

“These talented artists come together to share their talents and to promote autism awareness, acceptance and inclusion.”

The choir is organized by the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism which operates with the mission to help families affected by autism live life to the fullest.
