Is it an autistic thing to have a hugely varied taste in music, or do our tastes just diversify more as we get older? My own taste in music is very varied from heavy metal through 80's and 90's music to Trance music. For me it's not so much about the genre of the music but whether or not I like a particular song or the music to that song. Personally I like quite upbeat songs as opposed to the slower tracks, regardless of what type of music it is. What is other people's experience? What do you listen to? Do you tend to only listen to one category of music or do you prefer variety?
I have a special fear of "Mistletoe & Wine" by Cliff Richard. I have to vacate the premises when I detect it. Is there a special phobia name for this?
I’ve just googled it. There is an actual name for Cliff Richard phobia Diabologynophobia apparently Mel B suffers from it too!
If anyone else wants to find out the name of some phobias of really random stuff, please see this website:

I'm not sure but I'm sure someone can manage to think of an inventive made up name for this phobia? All answers are most welcome :-)
Good call - me too!
Common sense would be one name for that phobia :-)
Another one I've toyed with over the years is anachrophobia - not to be confused with fear of spiders but the fear of things being in the wrong time period (Elvis, Johnny Cash, Cliff Richard...Brill Cream!)
