Study methods for reading a book

I might suggest most Artists are NeuroDivergent. 

As an analogy, let's use Physics. We might all be able to grasp the understanding of an idea of gravity or an idea of a cylindrical universe, or how magnets repel and attract, and we may appreciate poetic thoughts on the stuff, buy books on it and journals, but may lack that innate quality that some are born with to take an idea in physics and expand on it. 

This same thing applies to Music. Scientific microphones exist to study the earth. I might be able to use these to collect and record data. But I may not know how to use these to make field recordings which others would enjoy listening to.

I might be able to enjoy learning the guitar or take voice lessons or piano. But to expand creatively on the techniques is a WHOLE other process. It isn't a requirement to enjoying music or learning how to play. I can sing karaoke in a bar or bring a guitar to a jam session at a festival. I can play a few jazz tunes at a party on someone's piano. 

Emotion and Expression is like "Alchemy". Taking fundamental tools and learned ideas and transmuting them into something else entirely. Not everyone has a knack for chemistry, for cooking, expanding upon science, creating a new miracle cure or developing a new concept in philosophy. Allistic and Autistic alike.

To add: Find enjoyment the process of learning. This is what Music and Art can offer. A moment of being in the moment.  A monotropic indulgence.
