Here is an excerpt from his bio on Mark Leland's website and the
reason behind writing this song.

The largest motivation behind this CD is the title track, "Missing
Pieces". Leland's manager and long time friend, Tim Calhoun, is the
father of Nathaniel, the inspiration for this song. Nathaniel, like
1.7 million other children, is autistic. After listening to the
stories of the challenges that families face in receiving treatment
for their children diagnosed with autism and watching the pain his
close friend was facing, Leland began to learn more and more about
autism. Together, Calhoun and Leland wrote "Missing Pieces". It is a
touching song that takes a listener through the anguish of having a
beautiful baby whose neurological sense become challenged in the
first few years of life. The autism community faces a constant
struggle of learning about the causes of this terrible disease and
the ever-changing ideas on effective treatment.

The philanthropic loyalty that Leland has towards helping this often
unnoticed group of dedicated parents has been the basis of his
decision to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of his
Missing Pieces CD to organizations that can assist families in
affording the treatment needed to help their autistic children
succeed. As the song "Missing Pieces" is being played more and more,
Leland is frequently asked to perform at autism benefits across the
country. Parents of autistic children who have heard his song are
sharing his enthusiasm with other members of their community.
Together, Leland and his fans are spreading autism awareness across
the nation and possibly, the world.
