Spotify should add a feature where I can isolate just part of a song and loop only that. Like I want this song on repeat. But only this 45sec bit. I don’t want the rest right now.

I saw you wanted to be asked about autism, so what’s the first thing you remember that pointed to autism?

Mine was having meltdowns any time I was cold.

Hello! First of all, I wanted to say thank you for asking me about something autism-related! I did do a post on my page saying how I wanted to be asked about autistic things, however I didn’t really expect anyone to read it, and even if people did I didn’t expect to actually be asked anything 😅, so thank you for asking! It is appreciated.

The first thing I remember to kind of be an “autistic thing” (that is also non-violent, non-traumatizing, non-ableist, essentially, not a “bad” memory) is:

Once upon a time, when I was younger, my parents set up a tv-system in the minivan, where there were tvs strapped to the back of the head-rests, or strapped to that thing in the center of the middle-seated area that you can open up. Anyway, movies could be watched on the mini tvs and I was in charge of it. I even had a little “remote” and everything. I remember loving a song in the movie, “Oliver and Company”. The song was, “Why Should I Worry” by Billy Joel, but the song is not important/significant. The reason why I mention the song, however, is because I loved the song, and I think I stimmed to the song. Because it’s unusual to expect to finish an entire movie in a single car ride, I would have to skip ahead to where the movie left off, however I would usually never skip this song, because I enjoyed listening to it so much.

I think this was one of the first instances where I learned it was “socially acceptable” or “ok” to stim to music. To this day, I find myself being ok to stim to music by listening to stuff on repeat, or stim mostly through sound and auditory stuff. But yes I think this was an auditory stim moment for me, and thanks again for asking.

when i’m with other people i have to wait patiently outside of music and when i’m with myself i can go fully inside it

Have been listening to Bad Idea by Girl In Red and Tell Me It’s Okay by Paramore for the last 4 hours.

Autistic flirting: I make you oddly specific playlists, you gift me funky rocks you find.

Very big thank you to YouTube for adding clips. Now my neurodiverse ass can listen to the 7 second long moments in songs that make my brain go fuzzy on high volume on repeat without having to do it manually
