interesting. i'm no expert but afaik autismics
see/understand patterns well and get locked onto
learning/doing things pretty hardcore so i guess when they
learn to play/programme music, they understand what they
want to do and do it well.

did you see that programme that gets all sorts of "mentally
less abled" people to make music. there was a piano dude on
it who is super talented. hes blind to, and looked a bit
like elton john when i saw him on telly.

The only link is autistic children need to be hit with a
mallet from time to time.

in general in most cases instead instead of autism:
subjectivity vs objectivity, theres a real world outside our
minds
introversion vs extroversion, living inside yourself like a
hermit or reacting to the world around you
narcissism vs modesty, loving yourself too much and being
too selfish VS loving others, playing down your own
achievments ,and bringing all real ethics/morals (dont mean
vegetarianism or liberalism or any of those fake ethics) to
the game of life

social changes
diet, kids eating too much junk food
divorce fuckin up family structure (1 parent families)
parents desire kid to be genius (maybe a big reason for
"asperger's syndrome", which is probably not truly
widespread as thought). "ooh look how many celebrities have
autism/dyslexia/fakerexia" blah blah

look up the DSM IV criteria, very subjective/taste driven.

autism and music is a folly path and we should push it away
cos it's not the ultimate truth of art or nature

aesthetics is the area to pursue not any middle class
fashion illness

people is not able to create any sort of textual empathy
yet they pretend to use the internet as mean to contact with
other people
and communicate how 'good' is to express a feeling with
music
expressing an interest in doing music by giving it prestige

not only,

one would have to introduce himself to the amazing world of
another as a mistake of nature
like one stumbing in a cool chick saying 'hello, i'm sick'
discouraging others from the start, and influencing them
to those people i'd like to say
fear is more black, dense, and deep rooted than your doctor
thinks

Well... when some autistic people get... un-autistic... with
their social skills blooming along with understanding of
emotion, etc., the "special skills" tend to diminish.

Music is very emotional, but ironically, emotion is hard to
grasp for people with autism. I saw autistic savant Derek
Paravicini on some tv show playing piano. He was easily
able to play various light emotions, but when asked to play
something angry, he merely played the happy tune and made
grinning noises and faces.

So while autistic savants may be able to achieve amazing
artistic feats, it means something totally different to
them. When they are able to convey emotions in others-
emotions that they are unable to feel themselves- they are
obviously approaching it mentally, from a totally different
point of view; from within a totally different context.

...Like being infatuated with a computer generated face--
the human feels emotion, but the computer just has the
"intention" of pushing pixels and executing programming,
with total disregard for anyone's actual aesthetic sense.
