  • Up to around 14 years of age the first. After that, both.

    I don't know if this is a typical autistic thing, but clothing fashion and mass-market 'Top of the Pops' music I found to be a very definite turn off. If anything was hugely popular, I immediately disliked it. However, I eventually found more cerebral and niche music and became obsessed with it. I was hooked by 'Yes', 'Genesis', 'Pink Floyd' and 'Led Zeppelin'. My musical tastes have broadened massively since, but it was the 'Progressive Rock' groups who 'turned me on'.
