Is it common for Aspies to be tone death?
I'm extremely tone death. On the X-Factor auditions, I honestly think everyone is good, and can't tell which ones are just plain bad.
Once I got Fruity Loops(a music program), and my friend said, 'Was there really any point trying?' when I showed him the song I made. He wasn't being rude, most likely being honest. It was just two sound samples, but I was happily amused to listen to it for a few hours xD.
So, if this nothing to do with my Aspergers, or is it a trait of some sort?

I have an extremely good ear, as does my daughter, and as did my musician father.... I don't think that's something that's necessarily associated with anything specifically on the spectrum (being tone deaf).

It probably has nothing to do with AS. Some people are just tone deaf.

Oh, XD. Thanks for the replies.
This topic can die now :P(unless someone has evidence saying it is related, or just wants to post in it or w.e).

That should be written tone deaf.
