This song and video might actually just relate most of what autism is.
First, look at David Byrne's movements (dyspraxia, stimming ?)
Then listen to the words:
"How did I get here?" ( A feeling of not being in control?)
"How do I work this?" ( Problems with social interaction ? )
"Where is that large automobile?" ( A feeling of under-achievement? )
"This is not my beautiful wife" ( Imposter syndrome? )
"Am I right, am I wrong?" ( confusion due to miscommunication? )
Lots of repetition of "same as it ever was" ( obsession with routines? )
Lots of reference to water - flowing underground, at the bottom of the ocean, under the rocks and stones, water dissolving ( Sensory pleasure from water? Special interest in geology? )
with his oversize suit he may well have sensory issues with tight clothing too...
II hadn't realised that David is on the spectrum:
