I want to start a rock/indie band with other autistic people. It could be wonderful thing, we could jam, stim, and even gig. It could be therapeutic and expressive for us all. Preferably, you would be an older adult (over 30) but it's not hugely important. What is important is that we have fun and use the experience positively. it doesn't matter if you are a beginner, please get in touch if you think you might be interested. it could be a lot of fun.
Jim.
Hi Jim, did you ever get your band together. I am currently trying to do a podcast based on Autism and musicians for my college project. Is there anyway I could contact you about your experiences. I also have autism and I am looking to work in the Music Industry.
Haha! Thanks for asking. I play a bit of keyboards, but I'd never be good enough to perform. And I live in Kent! Hope it works out, though.
I agree, I thought about shortening it to The Stimmers or Stimms. Are you interested? Do you play?
I'd just go for something simple like 'The Stimms'. Or, if you're all guys, maybe 'The Autie Boys'!
It's an awesome name :)
Thank you for that. I really hope we can make it happen. Thinking of Hans Asperger and the Stimmers for a band name.
Oh, man! I wish I was in Glasgow! It's been a while I don't play in a band and I would love to get back into it.
Good luck!
