Tuning in / tuned out.

Most of my life when listening to music I've tended to take in the music but not the words. Years ago a professional singer I knew asked me my opinion of her latest song. I said I liked the sound of it. When she asked me about the lyrics I said honestly 'I've no idea' and she was unimpressed with that. Has anyone else experienced similar with music and/or other things? I'm watching some 1980s music videos, some of which I liked at the time. I'm able to take in (without trying too hard) the lyrics too now which is refreshing and like a new experience of the same thing, funnily enough Slight smile

    By the way, I like some of your quotes and I think this one of them is very relevant to autism: "Each person is an island unto him/herself, in a very real sense; and he/she can only build bridges to other islands if she/he is first of all willing to be her/himself and permitted to be her/himself."
    This one could also be relevant to autism: "Change is coming whether you like it or not." Wink
