But what I really love is Pink Floyd, and it occurred to me reccently that it is probably because the albums are so language-rich. You don't just dance to the beat, or feel emotions evoked by the music itself. You have to process the words. Listening to Pink Floyd is kinda like reading, only different. <br /><br />Now, here's where I get down to it. Do you think this language preference in music is "autistic?" I realized have some autistic traits a while back, after both my kids were diagnosed on the spectrum. (Previously, I had just thought of myself as a bit crochety--but mostly surrounded by idiots.) So I am having all these little epiphanies about how these traits are woven into my personality--but have heard the metaphor about how if all you have is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.<br /><br />BTW, if I sound familiar, not that I expect to, I emailed you a while back, after finding your site through Google right after my son's diagnosis, and you sent me a nice reply.<br /><br />LeslieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
