even before I knew what is wrong with me I have always viewed music as some kind of self medication.
This is exactly how I have felt about it. I am not technically diagnosed yet but I and others that I know are fairly certain I have Asperger's.
I love music in general, I listen to it pretty much anytime I can. Mainly I like harder alternative or punk rock, but I like a lot of rock bands. Some of my favorites are Breaking Benjamin, Rise Against, Three Days Grace, Paramore, Sum 41 etc. I have a lot of favorites, and I tend to collect every song of the artists and bands I really like.
I also love singing, and particularly since I was 12 I have worked really hard on improving my singing voice in the 7 years since then. I like to understand the way the way human vocal function works and all the factors involved in making different sounds and styles in singing, especially screams. It fascinates me.
