Famous aspie musicians
Hi guys! I read somewhere on the internet that Mozart seemed to have quite a few aspie traits and that made me wonder.... do you know of any famous musicians out there that are (or allegedly are) aspies or auties?

It was once suggested that Lady Gaga...
No, just no. Seriously? Lady Gaga?
No, I just don't think so, I know so. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that she is.
I don't really know of any but it would be nice to know some I guess.
EDIT- Motzart?
Yes I know it's spelt wrong.

RE: Famous aspie musicians
Thom Yorke of Radiohead is alledgedley aspie.
The subject matter of a lot of their work would certainly corroborate that theory.

Me too! I'm pretty sure "Umbrella Beach" is about being an aspie. And it sounds really cool if you listen to it with headphones on, like the music is bouncing around your skull.

Yes, really. :3
He's basically just a one-man-band kind of thing. He plays all the instruments himself and sings all the songs of course. If you were to see him in concert, of course there's going to be other people on stage playing instruments, but really it's just him. xD
He can't play all the instruments at once so that's why of course lol.
I love and know all his songs. Been a fan since 2008.

Yeah, I will admit, although I'm a fan, I still prefer his old style in music. His new music now isn't so great. :/
I feel as if he's either being controlled or fame is getting to him.

I've read online accounts that John Lyndon or Jonny Rotten of the sex pistols is autistic.

Andy Partridge of XTC certainly has some autism-like traits. He has crippling stage fright, and his lyrics sometimes tell of how he perceives the world differently from most.
