ADD'L PROPS FOR PPP:
I'm so glad you can move thru the music. It pwns me. I can't even function when music takes over. And it takes over a lot. I'm only giving you the BSG reference above, but there are many more, even in this very post. It makes it so hard to put thoughts together. Also, you seem scarily brilliant. I'm a bit scared to reply to you because of this.
Oh, well maybe my IQ is a little bit high but as a person unless someone is out to shove my "Aspie difference" in my face I am really friendly and non-judgmental. I know I was basically born with this and it doesn't make me any better than anyone else.
I also attribute my humility to the fact that I am able to accept the fact that there are many out there more qualified than me, including a teacher of a teacher at the SF Conservatory whose name was Easley Blackwood who could instantaneously count 57 or 38 or 26 objects just by looking at them without grouping by 3's, 5's or whatever; he could also tell what note was missing if someone played a tone cluster of all the notes within one octave but deliberately left out one and played the other 11. I'll bet you he was on the spectrum!! !
