Episode 140: Lucca Cassandra Carver of Split Silk on autism and playing loud music

Lucca Cassandra Carver of emo/noise rock band Split Silk joins Scream Therapy host Jason Schreurs to talk about how playing loud music has helped her cope with autistic sensory overload and burnout. Lucca also talks about how having control and command over her artistic expression has been instrumental in living within a society that often doesn't account for people's differences.
