JOHN: You stuck another verse in there, Richard.
PAUL: You send me.

RINGO: Alright, John.
PAUL: You only have to pick your nose in a camera and a boom is over there.
JOHN: Okay, this is your last chance.
PAUL: Now look boys. Now come on, enthuse a little!
JOHN: I can’t! I don’t even get up to my bit – you keep finishing! [laughter] Shut up, will you, or I’ll have you banned from bloody Apple if you don’t shut up. [laughter] … Okay, Let It Be is where I come in.

She’s Leaving Home [Isolated Vocals]
“Even at this late date, there were still three more songs to be recorded, starting with Paul’s gentle “She’s Leaving Home.” […]
There were still two available tracks on the multitrack tape, but Paul felt strongly that he wanted certain lines doubletracked, and he also wanted the strings to remain in stereo. The only solution was to have them sing their vocals at the same time, recording each pass on a single track. […]
The lights in the studio were turned off to set the mood; the sole source of illumination was a table lamp next to the wall. The two Beatles, lifelong friends and collaborators, sat on high stools, facing each other, studying each other’s lips intently for phrasing. Watching them, I remember thinking that John’s and Paul’s voices were so different yet so perfectly complemented each other’s, just like their personalities and approach to music-making.” — Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles, Geoff Emerick

So, apparently, people with autism have really really bad emotion regulators... Like that mechanism is a wee bit broken.
An NTs emotion line will look like this :
1--2--3--4--5--6--7--8--9--10
Whilst those of us on the spectrum are more:
1--2--3--8--9--10
We have next to no middle ground for our emotions. So we're prone to outbursts or sudden euphoria.
So if you're like me and always wondered why you seem to experience emotions on such an huge scale... This may be why.
Add our difficulty in understanding our own emotions... You end up with someone who can't comprehend their own feelings at all.

Soup should be a human right. In the heart of every town there should be a big pot of soup and you can help yourself. And if anybody meddles with the soup... well. the answer should be obvious.
