#come out of the woodworks i refuse to argue. this is like a gaydar. something i know intuitively with my heart and soul

[thefiresofpompeii]

people will get mad at me for “armchair diagnosing” real life (or dead) musicians as autistic. but autism isn’t a pathology, it’s a neurotype, so i can do what i want and will anyway. my list (argue with the wall) (based off lyrics, biographies, interviews, vibes) is in no particular order as follows:

will toledo thom yorke aurora gerard way courtney love (is prof. diagnosed so i didn’t even need to put her here but apparently some people don’t believe it) bjork richard d. james colin meloy (has a diagnosed son which just confirms it for me) adrianne lenker katiejane garside kat bjelland connie converse mc ride yeule kimya dawson david tibet emilie autumn adrian borland tom waits michael gira townes van zandt IAMX eminem (controversial) henry rollins kurt cobain (controversial) lydia lunch julien baker conor oberst blixa bargeld fiona apple (HIGHLY controversial) nico poly styrene amanda palmer (contentious. could be) sidney gish lauren tate marina diamandis (controversial) jeff mangum jay clayton i could go on and on and have missed so many i will hit myself for not having remembered later. you get my point

people like david byrne gary numan and grimes aren’t listed here because they’ve openly spoken about it before and some have been diagnosed so it doesn’t count
