Legitimate question - Does Thom Yorke have autism?
I always assumed he did
>>64535961
he's actually a normie jock dickhead. I went to the same school as he did. Thom was one of the older boys. He and the Radioheads pestered me constantly over my bookish deportment and humble middle class origins
>>64536668
elaborate pls
>>64535961
What probably happened is he couldn't handle the fast rise to worldwide fame and it made him permanently disillusioned and anxious
There's nothing about his music that suggests autism. His lyrics have extraordinary emotional depth and a desire for connectivity that would either be not present, or at least distorted, coming from an autist. Even if they are mostly negative emotions
>>64536668
Wow. That reminds me of the time I ran into Thom at the supermarket.
>>64536835
Tell story
>>64536816
That actually kinda would make sense. His mannerisms are still fucking weird though, which would make me think he might be some sort of savant.

story
>>64536889
I saw Thom Yorke at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

People can be weird without having a mental handicap y'know?
He might have some social anxiety but being weird =/= being an aspie

>>64537130
i don't blame him at all for not answering those questions. all the guys in radiohead are private people that don't seem to want to throw their private business out for the whole world to read about in some shitty magazine.
>>64537018
Holy fuck! What a dick!!! Im never listning to them agin.
I'll let this speak for itself

That Jim Morrison bit and then him screaming like the autist that he is holy fuck I kek'd so hard
He's definitely autistic. I remember studying autism during my junior year of uni and we were going over how high-functioning autists cope with the world, and Thom Yorke was one of the prominent examples
Yes, I even witnessed a sperg moment from him. I met Thom Yorke just last week:
I was in California and I happened to run into him at a local diner. He was sitting alone and it looked like he'd only just started eating, so I decided to just go up and say hi (if his friends were there I would have just let him be). Anyway, I walk up and say hello and tell him I know him from Radiohead. Nothing. No reaction. Doesn't say a word. He just sits there, staring right through me. Staring intensely, but with no emotion whatsoever.
I begin to feel awkward, so I say "sorry to disturb you" and start to walk away but before I even get a chance to turn he just gets up suddenly and starts walking toward me, still making full eye contact. At first I thought he was going to try and barge into me or something, but at the last minute (like an inch away from me) he turns and heads toward the trash can. Then he starts dumping everything on his plate into it. One by one. Potatoes, carrots, everything. He picks up each bit of food up, holds it high above the can and drops it. Some of it (the steak) didn't even make it into the trash because he wasn't looking at what he was doing.
Finally his plate is empty and this is the part that really fucking weirded me out. He looks around to check no one (but me) is looking, then slides the plate under his jacket and walks out.
I was just astounded, it was pretty surreal.
>>64537276
Thanks for posting this I laughed.
>>64537276
Man, Ariel Pink used to be pretty bad
Have you clowns ever actually met someone with autism? Thom is just a beta rich boy who was coddled in his Oxford safe zone for 25 years and then forced into the limelight too fast
Here is a video where he chums it up like the normiest of normies with Nigel

What do they teach you kids in school these days I swear
>>64537535
you just got rused, friend
I just had a dream that radiohead released an album called "Mysterique". The album cover was an old newspaper clipping in Polish that included a picture of one of those circus strongmen. The first track had sounded like an atmospheric black metal song with a Beyoncé feature and Thom sang a really intense hook that went "We... Will stay... Underground... Unless... You put... Your weapons down"
Just posting this in case any of these details turn out to be accurate
>>64537552
>implying you didn't gt rused by his counter ruse
>>64537552
>I was only pretending to be retarded
Any other autists like Thom?
Thom is like a autist/chad/normie hybrid.
>>64537481
>he's not autistic just weird
>>64536816
In all fairness even artists can have emotional connectiins
>>64535961
He has synesthesia, you would be weird too if you could taste music and hear colors.
>>64537590
>he fell for the counter-counter ruse
lmao
ITT: People believe really old copypasta stories
>>64537620
Autistic is a subset of weird. It's weird mixed with a little too much effort.
