Nah, if I ever went into music it would be playing an instrument, probably piano or drums. I played a guitar once before. 
you can play guitar again! play all three.
get a multitrack recorder and be a one man band. I think just being able to play it once was a fluke. If I ever have another chance I would at least give it a try.
I played the piano when I was little, my dad's family had one of those big air-ones. As for your other question, my voice didn't change at that time.

so did your voice deepen by any amount between age 12 and age 20?
No, not really. Weird huh?

mebbe it did but for some reason it doesn't register with your hearing? would you say your voice was in a similar register as Michael Jackson?
No, not really.

I had always thought the opposite was true, that autistic men usually had much lower voices. I wonder if the same is true about autistic women? You'd think we'd sound like The Chipmunks!

I'm not really sure. My speaking voice is sort of on the high end, and I sing mezzo-soprano.
I asked my boyfriend for his opinion on my voice and this is what he said:
"It is high-pitched, but not high enough to be annoying. It's the perfect combination of girliness, cuteness and elegance. It's amazingly soothing and comforting to hear."
I guess this means I can't join the Chipettes.

Mr Blabby.....you can also sing Mr Bass Man. Having Paul Robeson's register isn't bad at all.
My voice changed from boy soprano to tenor when J was 14.

thank you
I don't mind my voice at all, actually- but it does restrict my repertoire to unhip stuff. even roger Whitaker's stuff is almost too high-pitched for me to handle. about the only hip song I can handle, is bobby short's version of "real live girl."

I have done a bit of research a while ago about autism and accents (because what else would I be doing with my time) and there are a lot of aspies outside the United States who sound like they have a badly faked American accent. This seems to be because of our tendency to use a more monotone voice, and aperently an American accent has less vocal inflection then other accents so a lack of vocal inflection sounds more American. For aspies in the United States their accent still doesn't sound quite American a lot of the time. It could be that something like this is happening with us.
Honestly, I hate hearing the sound of my own voice. It's not very high-pitched, but it does come across as less masculine than I'd like it to. Almost whiney at times. I do use inflection, although sometimes I come across as sounding flat. My facial expressions don't always register like an NT.
I've never had a strong regional accent despite growing up in rural New Hampshire where a lot of people do have the stereotypical New England accent (well, one of several, distinct regional accents) going on. Sometimes I wish I did sound more like a New Englander like some of my peers still do.
I've lived in Tennessee for more than half my life now, and whatever accent I did have is now mostly neutralized. When I go back to New England to visit, people tell me they pick up on a slight southern accent. Several years back I was eating at a restaurant in Maine with my wife, and the server made a comment about "you guys" being from the South. I'd assumed at first he was talking about my wife, but when I asked how he knew that he said it was due to MY accent.
