I’m looking for songs and musicians that specifically sing about autism…if it even exists because I’ve never heard any.

Any recommendations?

    Modest Mouse has always resonated really hard with me and I don’t think Isaac Brock is autistic necessarily (just done a lot of drugs) their music encompasses a lot of traits I feel like match the autistic experience (for me)

    the rambly lyrical style and kind of… nonlinear movement between topics feels like my thought process, I can relate to feelings of stumbling through a confusing life, and of course, failing to connect with others or accidentally damaging relationships

    I’d probably start with Moon and Antarctica, or Good News, but I personally love everything they’ve put out ever (admitting my bias since it’s one of my special interests)

    edit: I’m ridiculous I missed the part where you said singing specifically about autism pls disregard

    I’m a middle aged autistic guy and David Bowie always hits the right spots for me. He’s got such an outsider- looking-in perspective to his music that I really think he was a super highly functional autistic who just didn’t give a damn about masking.

    I don’t know about songs that sing about autism but I know of a couple of binaural songs that tickle my brain and they’re by Rob Zombie. They’re all from the Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy album. The first one that comes to mind is The Ballad of Sleazy Rider.
