I don’t know if it’s related to autism, but I can’t listen to music just like if it was a white noise like most people do, if I play something I get very emotional about it, my mind changes completely and when I stop listening I kind of feel bad and depressed. I wonder if it’s related to autism or some kind of over-stimulation or something. I feel like any music I listen to touches my soul. And that’s not good because sometimes I just want to chill but I get way too attached to the playing song.
So I’m barely listening to music lately because I’m trying to keep my emotional neutral.
Some songs I’ve had to stop listening to either when I figure out the lyrics, or the music video hits me too hard.
Like the song “Take me to church” by Hozier, or the Theme of the Biolizard from Sonic Adventure 2. I cry like nobodies business.
I get far more stimulated by visuals, I’ve noticed.
But it never hurts to rock out to your favorite track to get full of energy!
