Evening everyone
I’m new to this forum I have no formal diagnosis but after meeting with numerous mental health professionals over the years I am being put forward for assessment possibly next spring
Welcome! and assuming the 65 refers to the year of your birth, hi from another 65'er!
Yes year I was born
A very confusing 53 years
Great band @jonsey and @moggsy
ahh the great Eddie Hazel... "play as if your mother had just died" I think was the instruction from George.
Given the tastes of both Hippy and Jonesy, can I recommend Maggot Brain (Funkadelic). You probably both know it, but if not, have a listen - it'll blow your mind!
Been playing guitar since I was 14, played classical violin, viola and piano before that. Huge rock fan...glam, classic, heavy/hard, some prog, punk and new wave 76-81, some 90s Indie and Brit Pop... old metal before it got too thrashy and extreme...also love old school funk, dabble with some Jazz (love Pat Metheny!). Dislikes; anything too electronic and that has been created on a computer by some producer ie most Pop music from the last 20 odd years, rave/house monotonous electronic dance music etc etc, also not too keen on Folk and Blues gets too boring for me after about 3 tracks.In a nutshell I like music played by bands playing in real time who play and write with skill and passion and don't need to be auto-tuned, cleaned up and quantized by a computer to sound good....and can play live without relying on backing tracks and samples etc.
I've put a Queen track on the Juke box for you and Jonesy!
Jonsey I’m amassive Queen fan love rock metal folk and a bit of blues some Jazz bit of funk play guitar a bit
ahh clearly a man of taste! I'm a huge Queen fan since that first TOTP performance of Seven Seas of Rhye in 74.
Morning Jonsey I won’t mourn the nt I’m trying to be but celibate who I really am I’ll still be the same me six foot awkward music living Spurs supporting 53 year old bald hippy but explain to people friends family why I’m like I am
Which track would you like? I will try and put it on the Juke Box for you.
Hi Sunflower tried to put some music on but useless at down loading the juke box needs a bit of Freddie
Yep same here, but the confusion has cleared since I got my diagnosis 11 months ago. Relieved to finally understand myself but also mourning the NT self I had spent so much of those 53 years trying to be.I'm also a big music fan and yes vinyl, CD's or digital files have to be cataloged in the correct order for me too!
Lots of music lovers here! We've got a Virtual Jukebox in the Autistic adults forum - do put a track on sometime.
Reading various things on here it makes sense I’ve collected music nearly my whole life carefully arranging them in order very obsessive I can’t cope if they are out of order I won’t let anyone touch my vinyl
Things starting to make sense would I choose to be NT now way
Many of us have been confused for a very long time! It's wonderful when it all finally starts to make sense... welcome!
