Could you narrow it down with details like the genre, instruments, other lyrics, or the release year or the year you first recall hearing it?

Some quick extra bullet points as I’m short on time and much of what I want to say has already been said in this thread:

• I strongly recommend Behind the Bastards’ 2-parter on fake autism cures (huge trigger warning for child abuse though), and just as strongly Rowan Ellis’ video essay on autism representation. Both could be listened to during chores or work. https://youtube.com/watch?v=WA9B4_e6sS0
• If you’re making an intentional, good-faith effort to be kind and curious, then as an autistic person I deeply appreciate your showing up, and please don’t let the downvotes make you any less curious.

Usually for the same reasons you’d get entangled in a movie or book? Games are allowed to be emotionally complex just the same as any other form of media, and the interactive aspect gives them some extra leverage for it that others lack.

I’ve cried really hard to the track “Confronting Myself” from Celeste, which counts as “because of a video game” even though I wasn’t playing it at the time.

I’m crying again now thanks

In the last 48 hours they’ve only posted on their Facebook about how they helped get Trump elected and criticized (insulted) a study that examines “the relationship between community-level firearm violence and dental health”. They seem pretty unconcerned

Autistic adult here:

I do feel like I have a more childlike appearance sometimes, less so in recent years. I think that because of the seriously messy place my mind was in from the very start, it took me longer to interact with other people enough to develop the social awareness I needed to “fit in”, and not “fitting in” is often equated with being childlike, IMO. I still occasionally mutter to myself in public, have odd movements and posture, and generally act in a way that diverges from the social norms of the people around me, for better or for worse. Medication has changed all this around in ways that are too complicated to get into in one comment.

My mind never stopped developing. My brain chemistry changed as I went through puberty, and then through adulthood when the prefrontal cortex starts doing its thing. I kept gaining new knowledge from my surroundings and my peers and that changed how I thought about things on a basic level. There are certain specific areas in which I was always considered “more mature”.

My experience doesn’t necessarily reflect those of other autistic people who’ve had different hands dealt to them. I’d be happy to answer any other questions you have.

To quote the words of the Behind the Bastards podcast, I think you should make it absolutely priority #1 to get your condition treated and prevent yourself from committing sex crimes, as in, it should be a slightly higher priority than breathing
