Human Behavior by Bjork
Landscape by Florence and the Machine
Evolution by Cat Power
Fool by Cat Power

I don't know if they are good ones (sorry for that grammar mistake)

Only checked the first page but no mention of Ladyhawke?

She's an Autistic Kiwi who has created an 80's influenced album (guess what her speciality is? )

I have been identifying with most of the lyrics in this song for years and although it is not in any of my fav genres it remains a personal fav. Just now, I realized the lyrics are very "AS related".
My fav line is
"Caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender" and it goes on to describe sounds and colours and noises and it concludes
"I'm gonna be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
where true love could have been a contender".

I am a Rock by Simon and Garfunkle

For a good long while I convinced myself that I didn't need any friends. Fine, nobody liked me, I didn't like or need them either! All I needed were my books and how I wished I could just hide in a room with my books... never have to come out... I sometimes still feel that way.

and also this I'd say:

"Nothing Came Out" by The Moldy Peaches

Just because I don't say anything,
Doesn't mean I don't like you.
I open my mouth and I try and i try
But no words came out.

Without 40 oz. of social skills
I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity.
I'm just a huge manitee.
A huge manitee.

And besides you're probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you
And stay up late and watch cartoons.

Duck Tales, shirt tails, Talespin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo.

I wanna watch cartons with you.
Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Do,
I want you to watch cartoons with me.
He-man, Voltron and Hong-Kong-Fui

I tried to ask you to your face
But no words came out.
I put on my hood and walked away,
That doesn't mean I don't like you.

And besides your probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you,
And stay up late and maybe spoon.

Just because I dont say anything
Doesn't mean I dont like you.
No...
I opened my mouth and i tried and i tried.

And besides you're probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
Talk about bands and
All I wanna do is ride bikes with you.
And stay up late and watch cartoons.

I'm just your average Thundercats ho

But my favorite one, the one I consider to be "the autism song", is Faint, Linkin Park. These are just songs on my iPod that make me think of AS

I'd second "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Iris." I play those a lot.

"Pretty Bird," by Hazel Dickens. Best verse: "I see in your eyes a promise/ Your own tender love you'd bring/ But fly away, little pretty bird/ Cold runneth the spring."

"Empty Spaces" and "Hey You," both by Pink Floyd.

Good Queensryche for AS: Screw Empire. Listen to Operation: Mindcrime.

"No Rain," by Blind Melon.

"The Day I Tried to Live," by Soundgarden.

"I Did My Best," by Soul Asylum.

As I said before, Flashbax by Oasis and Coffee & TV by Blur, and the original 'How Does It Feel...' by EATB (not the one with the Spice Girls, etc.)

"Head like a hole" by Nine Inch Nails

"God money I'll do anything for you.
God money just tell me what you want me to"
When I was younger, I would practically do anything for people to let me have my obsessions.

"God money nail me up against the wall"
The "authority figures" would often verbally chastise me about how I needed to stop being so obsessive or about something they just didn't like about me, it was like being backed up into a corner.
"God money don't want everything he wants it all"
I could never be "less obsessive" enough.

"no you can't take it, no you can't take that away from me"
I don't want people trying to change me and will always protest violently



"Head like a hole, black as your soul"
A metaphor for a black hole. Because once something gets sucked in, or I get obsessed with it. I rarely stop obsessing over it. The line "black as your soul" can be a reference to how so many people accused me of being selfish because I wanted to talk about nothing but my obsessions. My mother remarks about how she thought she was literally going to go insane if she had to hear about meerkats (or whatever my obsession was at the time) for the umpteenth time. I always feel like I am suffocating if I can't talk about my obsessions. I felt my mother was the selfish one because my need to talk about my obsessions was probably stronger than whatever negative feelings she felt. My mother even made me cry on several occasions because she made me feel so bad about my obsessions. Other people made me feel so bad I practically felt like I was the antichrist. "Black as your soul" can be interpreted as how "evil "people thought I was or about how "evil" I found the other people.

"I'd rather die than give you control"
Basically this verse is literal. Becoming less obsessive would be the ultimate expression of submitting to oppression. No matter what was dished out at me, I never would give up my obsessions. This verse is basically literal. Martyrdom has always been my ideal death.

"Bow down before the one you serve"
Whenever I protested against being subjected to stop being so obsessive, I was usually yelled at for being "disrespectful". In a way, children are expected to worship authority figures and aren't allowed to defend themselves.

"You're goanna get what you deserve"
The adults telling me that by not giving in and obeying the adults and giving up my obsessions, whatever hostility I experienced was going to be my own fault.
"God money's not looking for the cure"
The authority figure's desire to stop me from obsessing aren't because they think it's somehow hurting me; but because they find it annoying and it bothers them. When people seek out a "cure" for something, they usually have good intentions and have the person's best interest at heart (or at least think they do)
"God money's not concerned with the sick amongst the pure."
Basically confirming what the previous verse is trying to say. "Pure", people who are obsessed with maintaining conformity and are not "contaminated" by an obsession with something obscure.

"God money, let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised."
My parents, teachers and physiologists would often tell me it was my fault I was being bullied for my obsessions. I had a physiologist who was an expert at this.


"God money's not one to choose"
My teachers, psychologists, etc didn't care what my obsession was. If it was an obsession, they wanted me to stop obsessing about it.
"you know who you are"
The ones who engage in these actions know it and they know it is wrong. Basically self explanatory.
