Autistic Ear Worms

Craig

The first thing that goes through my brain when I wake up every morning are the lyrics from a popular song of the moment. The song changes, but without fail, it is always the first thing that I think of. When I am stressed about something (currently whether my son is going to get a place at performing arts school), these lyrics 'invade' my waking thoughts and play in my head constantly when I am not consciously thinking about anything. Currently, the chorus from Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero (It's me. Hi. I'm the problem. It's me.) are currently playing on loop in my head. I believe that this is likely to be an autistic thing, but wondered whether anyone else experiences anything similar? If so, what is your current autistic ear worm? Thanks.

  • I get them too. Not just first thing in the morning, they can stuck there all the time for weeks on end. It's usually triggered by something I hear when watching TV. I no longer listen to the radio, so I block out hearing any potential new ones that way.

    When Olivia Newton John sadly passed away earlier this year I had the song 'Hopelessly Devoted to You' stuck on endless loop in my head for weeks. Now that I've just thought about it I've probably put it back there for the next few weeks as well Rolling eyes
