A song that embodies autism?...

https://youtu.be/5IsSpAOD6K8?si=po0fNe2Rsy08SqEa

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? )
