Yes, and yes. I can sing, and I sing for fun. In fact Karaoke is a good bonding experience with NT friends. I just wish it could happen outside of bars. Or maybe in juice bars instead. I've heard that in some places they put Karaoke in bowling allies and/or arcades. That sounds awesome to me, as long as each is at least partitioned off from the other so the noise, lights, etc. don't become too much.
I am gradually teaching myself, in around a decade I might be half decent enough to desire to voice my various melodies and structures and snatches of songs and musicals I have always had clanging about but never had the confidence or energy to explore far enough to slot together, I like the guitar and piano but have lots more musical textures I intend to stumble around within.

Yes, I certainly can. I have an amazing talent for learning song lyrics really fast. I'll usually be able to sing a song after having heard it 5-10 times, if not sooner. I must know the lyrics to at least 50 songs off the top of my head. The only difficulty is that I don't have a sense of rhythm, so I tend to be off the beat sometimes...

I sing all the time. I was in chorus in school and I took voice lessons for over five years.

Yes! I'm very lucky to have perfect pitch, so singing is a very fun way for me to bring focus to something that is other than what's on my mind. I am classically trained, have sung in two orchestra choruses and just completed singing chorus in a fully staged professional opera! I'm really proud of my accomplishments, and singing is something I have used to bond with my younger brother who has a more severe form of autism than I do. Singing in chorus has helped me socially over the years as well
Nope. I have no business behind a microphone. Every once in a while when I am playing guitar I will catch myself singing some of the notes and actually matching them. It's a great feeling and cool experience when my voice and guitar are making the same vibrations but this this happens infrequently.
I once sang a karyoke song and the bar area cleared out and went outside for a smoke and some fresh air.
