  • I think that David Bowie may have been on the spectrum, although we have no proof, and I've been considering if one of his songs could be an autistic anthem.

    He showed a great interest in space and aliens, with songs such as Space Oddity, Moon age daydream, Starman, Life on Mars & Loving the alien, plus some of his songs have lyrics that may describe how we sometimes feel ....

    Golden Years (don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere.... Never look back, walk tall, act fine)

    Quicksand (I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts, and I ain't got the power any more)

    I'm afraid of Americans (I'm afraid of the world, I'm afraid I can't help it..)

    Word on a wing (I'm trying hard to fit among your scheme of things)

    If you like any of these, reply with your choice.
