First autism story ABCnews has done where I didn't find anything really upsetting I am hoping they will continue with these types of articles.

Lindsey has a page on MySpace, in which you can listen to some of her songs:

They are quite nice songs.

Really nice story, for everyone.

Parts of it sure did reflect me.

Thanks, KenG. I never would have seen this without your post.

The woman is also obviously an aspie. She reminds me of myself - we are the kind of musical, emotional, aspies who are overlooked by the popular media.

I said *very* not that she wasn't. There were some parts when she was playing her music, the way she moved her head while doing so was very AS to me.

So you noticed it! (I noticed it as well, especially since I move my head in similar ways when I play my music).
