A strong advocate for the autistic community, Scurria has been featured on podcasts and in articles and continues to conduct presentations wherever possible to raise awareness about the truth of the autistic community, to fight against the misinformation and myths about us, and to present autism through the lens of any other existence: one filled with joy, complexity, humanity, and diversity, dispelling the myths that we are a community to be cured or extinguished.

Scurria’s music does not recount trauma, but asserts survival as a source of power—and art. Her latest opera, ALICE, created with her partner and librettist Zane Corriher, was composed almost entirely without piano—direct from mind to page. She was recently commissioned to write a choral work (Inside) based on her lived experience as an autistic artist. Her work dismantles old narratives and reclaims sound as a tool for radical transformation.
