Is listening to the same songs again and again, more common in autistic people?

Deleted User 3 months ago

Probably all people do this, but I just wonder whether there is some known difference, and how it is for you.

Do you think you listen to the same songs more times than other people?

Yes, listening to the same song on repeat is a common example of autistic stimming (self-stimulating behaviour).

There's more information about it here - where listening to the same song is mentioned within the "Hearing" bullet point:

NAS - Repeated movements and behaviour (stimming)
