Came here to post this.
what makes you think Chelsea is autistic OP?
>>65874254
Varg just acts like a Scandinavian 50 years older than he actually is.
>>65874104
not autistic just introverted
>>65874254
not autistic just a sociopath
>>65874325
not autistic just awkward
>>65874379
not autistic just intense
>>65874379
It's hard to explain, but I actually am ASD, so I have a bit of an "aspiedar."
Chelsea is a very shy person who doesn't look people in the eye and has weird fixations on certain things (that last bit is a part of what makes her music so great). That's enough to get my head scratching.
Of course, I could be projecting and therefore completely wrong. I don't deny that.
>>65874379
I really couldn't see Gira being Autistic, he's too good at communicating.
>>65874379
>>65874666
Yeah, he seems more damaged than ASD. They do look similar though...
this guy
>>65874401
Well, autistic people learn how to look less autistic, to the point where they might only pass off as weird or intense...
Diagnosing adults is actually very hard because of this. It can take years...
>>65874104
>>65874325
girls can't have autism
>>65876942
not autistic just raised by chickens.
>>65874379
I think Gira is more traumatized than autistic. Didn't he see a boy get raped in Israel?
>>65876942

i think I'm probably a little autistic
nah, but i act like it sometimes :^(
>>65874104
No, she's just terrified of reality.
>>65874325
>autistic
No, she's just stupid. I mean literally, she's dumb as hell.
>>65874732
This is a no-doubter.
>>65875076
Autism isn't as common as you see to think..
>>65874104
>Chelsea Wolfe
She's just playing "artsy weird girl"
Be a Math major and then you'll know autism
Chelsea is a nice girl. I was drinking and wondering around Austin. I walked into a dark ally, and there she was. She asked to bum a smoke. I gladly did. Handed her my lighter and said Moses is a pretty fucked up song. She looked at me, then farted in my general direction. I walked off to her group and I walked back to my car. I wont forget her big ass fart.
>>65877452
Oh god even if this is fake it's still funny as fuck
>>65877452
This didnt happen. It was a more interesting encounter with a black cocaine dealer and a double dildo. Only Texas and the darkness will know. Id kill alll of you with a side of dill pickles.
Left and middle
Right is normie
>>65874104
In what way?
>>65877466
If you were with me, you would have learnt the difference between getting "wet" and getting "fried". Texas is a horrible place, easy enough to get guns to kill yourself with. Im just about there. I think I have cocaine cancer. I wish captha would kill me. Kill me PLEASE.
Mandatory
>>65877498
I knew what wet was, but not fried until now.
Is Texas really that bad?
I have a friend that lives there
>>65877504
He isn't autistic
He's just a poetic weirdo
>>65877504
That tooth gap means semian palm, which means retarded in some ways, which really means your heart becomes bigger on your left side, which means, even if you live and eat well/healthy YOU ARE STILL GOING TO DIE ON THE FLOOR AND NO ONE WILL FIND YOU FOR HOURS ON TOP OF HOURS ON TOP OF HOURS. I SAW AN OLD FRIEND'S SISTER IN A DREAM AND SHE TURNED OUT MORE UGLY IN THE FACE THEN 1000 PEOPLE COULD HOPE OR HOPE AGAINST. wE should all be killed, we will all be killed by the end of this. Good night.
>>65877504
>>65877534
You will die if you come here. you people will leave you for dead to go back home. Wouldnt you want to go back home if you saw some fucked up shit???? Its 115*F now these summer days. Stay in the dark. Keep our jail bait pale. Their'll be hell to pay if not. You know this shit, man. Go GO GO. shut teh fuck up and keep keeping on.
>>65877591
You're so weird anon
I like you
I dunno if it's autism, but it wouldn't surprise me if something's going on up there
>>65877604
I want to speak to my anus. I have some improve ments when it come to black coffee. Id love you forever, weird anon. Im too good for this world. So god damn good for this world. Kill me please.
I HAVE NEVER TASTED THE VAGINAL CRUST OF MY LONELY AUNT. I KNOW MOST OF YOU HAVENT EITHER. I LIKE TO SPEAK THINGS THAT NO ONE HOPEFULLY WOULD DO. I DREAM HORRIBLE THINGS LIKE THE FEELING OF INSIDE AN OLD WOMAN'S VAG. IT WAS HORRIBLE BUT MEMORABLE. LIKE HEY, NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE. OH WELL. GOOD NIGHT. GOING TO GET TEH SLEEP CANCER SOON. BIG ASS BIRTHMARKS N SHIT.
>>65874104
She's really elusive. Sometimes she is really friendly, and at other times really skittish. Very temperamental.
>>65874547
fuck I can relate to you
>>65874379
maybe?
>>65877691
Her heart is a tomb. Her heart is an empty room. Id cum on everything wildly. sue me, Ill make sure my cum gives you cancer or warts or something awful.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3B28LJM5iI
Probably doesn't but at least exhibits signs of it or whatever
>>65877709
You're weird.
>>65877724
I have nothing else. The cute bartender lied to me about being single. I had to burn that motherfucker down. Im too good for this world. Im waiting for Alla to kill me so I can be gone. Tears of a clown, when no ones around. Kill me please.
>>65877735
Quite possibly this.
>>65877759
Write a musical manifesto, make every musical aspect of it completely intentional and made to fuck with whoever listens to it
>>65874732
ellen's trans now? what a degenerate
Come to think of it, I've never come across a "good" artist who doesn't come off autistic to some degree or another. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeS1ftE7n2k
>>65877791
I grow black trash bags full of beer cans and mold, C4 in my sink, its really easy to make and controll when you have the blessing of the plants around you. They want to kill people more then I do. Oh well, Sleeping dogs really dont lye used to make soap. ha, oh well. dead. dead. dead for everyone. dead for me. dead for you. freaka me. freaka you. dead. night.

I literaly just came to post this and two people beat me to it
the shit he says on his channel are just crazy sometimes
>>65876942
this is probably true, it would explain alot
autistic people tend to obsess over their hobbies
this 100%
>>65878646
>musician
i mean if we're going off what seems to be the average anon's definition of autism, then every musician who isn't a confident, laid back social butterfly without any personality quirks or odd mannerisms.
>>65876942
>>65878644
Plus him having a whole anonymous persona allows him to distance himself from other people and purely focus on what he's doing.
He's a decent example and a good reason to make autistic children obsess over music instead of Sonic the Hedgehog or Thomas the Tank Engine.
>>65878677
we will never know for sure if he's autistic, but he sure isn't very sane
I think he released like 300 albums last year, most of which are about 30 mins long
>>65874732
I called the head of Payless!
Adam Young (Owl City guy) has aspergers. middle school me loved this acoustic side project he had called Sky Sailing lol
>>65877409
Have you ever heard interviews with her? Shes straight up horrible with people and seems uncomfortable. Now that doesn't mean autism but it also isn't an act considering those attributes don't really play into the weird girl character she portrays in her music.
>>65876942
Buckethead has aspergers syndrome.
>>65876965
he heard it every night
>>65877563
would smash
>>65877846
Balance was drunk and/or high pretty much constantly.
>>65877371
I'm like 99% sure rivers is a serial killer, just look into his eyes
>>65877735
no, he's just dumb
>Never talked with anyone ever; he'd show up as late as possible and would only communicate exactly what his band needed to know
>The second a show was over, he'd leave through the back door and go home. To get paid, he either got his money up front or next time he saw is band.
>Denied hundreds of interviews. He oy gave one or two back in the 70s to help a local art magazine, and he gave them via fax.
>All his former bandmates say that they probably know less about him than his fans because he was basically mute during practices
>Sang and spoke in a monotone
Either that or heroin just made him retarded
>>65876965
He also heard machine gun shots out on the street every night
>>65879350
I wonder if he's still alive.
>>65879502
He's Japanese, so he'll be around until the heat death of the universe.
>>65879502
This interview from 2015 with Masaki Batoh suggests he was alive when it took place. Mizutani should be 68 this year. I think word would indubitably spread if he died.
>I ask Batoh if he ever met Mizutani, and if he, like me, hopes he is never found.
>“I know him but won’t talk about him, sorry. I can say I like his personality at least.”

daily reminder that
austism =/= asperger
>>65879908
Aspergers is a form of autism
>>65878863
Her Fantano interview is awkward as fuck
>>65879950
In some of her interviews she actually seemed comfortable, like the KEXP interview.
>>65876965
>>65879437
Where do I find a detailed account of what he went through in Israel?
>>65880618
this please
>>65880618
"My True Body" is an elliptical love song in that it's about an experience I had as a kid. I was a runaway. I went to Europe with my father and ran away, and I spent a lot of time just hitchhiking around, and somehow ended up in Israel. I believe that I was 14, going on 15. I was with a couple of older hippie guys who were ushering me through this life-on-the-road process.
They had a contact in Israel, so we ended up getting into Israel, and I spent a year there, a few months on a kibbutz, then just living off the streets, selling my blood, panhandling, selling drugs. I got arrested for selling drugs, so I spent a total of three and a half months in jail there. I ended up in an adult prison by some obscure miscarriage of justice, but fortunately I was pretty much protected by the American-vagabond contingent that was in there. We stayed in an old army barracks and we were mixed in with Arabs, of which there were an abundance in jail. So the Arabs would be at one end of the barracks and the European-vagabond-hippie-derelicts were at the other.
Every night, I would hear and see this young Arab boy being raped repeatedly by 20 or so different guys, in the mouth, particularly. It would be dark, and there was a huddled mass working him over, and he would be crying and protesting. Then he would shuffle across the concrete floor in his slippers, go to the communal sink, throw up, brush his teeth and shuffle back. The other prisoners would snicker a bit, and this process would repeat itself the next night. So that song is sung through my idealized, romanticized version of this young saint. It's kind of a love song in the sense that it's about sex and passion through his eyes. So in that sense it's a typical love song. I guess this experience, seeing this kind of thing at such a young age, shaped my perception of human nature, and love, in a way. Christ, I didn't even have pubic hair yet.
>>65880989
Holy fuck, that is actually dark... now I know where the fuck filth came from
>>65877353
It's reasonably common, around 1 in 60-70 people fall around the high-functioning area of the spectrum
It's generally a given that men outnumber women anywhere between 4 and 10 to 1 but it's speculated that we just don't look for the signs in girls as much. The perception that it predominately affects boys also leads to a bias, and since the criteria for diagnosis are different for the sexes on top of differing between individuals, it leads to a lot of people who are never diagnosed.
A lot of adults will have grown up never knowing they're on the spectrum, and that's more true for women.
>>65874731
agree
>>65879908
Asperger's Syndrome is the name given to people who are high-functioning on the Autism Spectrum and at this point it's pretty much an outdated term.
People only use it colloquially or as part of their identity.
Ladyhawke has autism and talks about it
>>65880989
What the fuck? That explains a lot about his music though.
>>65880989
I always new snackbars to be disgusting pedo fagshits
God bless that poor kid

Yeah, everyone does that.

Right? It's my wallpaper on my tablet.
>>65879401
now that you mention it i think he's definitely on the spectrum. he's just so cool that i never considered it.
>Byrne was a neurotically shy child and teenager. Even after he joined Talking Heads, he didn't find it much easier to relate to people. Yale Evelev remembers working in a record store in Soho, New York, in the late Seventies. Byrne lived in the neighbourhood and used to shop there. "He'd put his head down and run out of the store if I talked to him," Evelev recalls. But playing with the band was different. "I was performing out of a desperate need to find a means of expression," says Byrne. "I was socially uncomfortable, I couldn't even chat to people, but on stage in that kind of formalised, artificial setting I could let out whatever it was I wanted to say." And now? "Performing is still an outlet but I think it's now less desperate."
>One could certainly construe that as deliberate I'm-mad-me wackiness, but there are those who insist that public Byrne is the same as private Byrne. "He's a genuine eccentric," says Eno. "He's always been exactly like that, and I've seen him remain like that in quite extreme situations. For instance, we were mugged together once in New York. It was quite frightening; we were mugged by 14 people. My enduring memory is of David being dragged off into the bushes, saying 'Uh-oh!' That's absolutely true; it was like a cartoon scene."
>>65882691
There is no way he isn't autistic
>>65883655

holy shit lmfao
ITT: /mu/tants who don't know what autism is diagnose people they've never met
>>65883655

well, his brother is

this but I still love him
>>65877735
no he's just a cunt
>>65882691
I still find it hilarious that this soft spoken, chilled out dude played in GG Allin's band for a bit
>>65878707
117, granted 32 of them were the halloween countdown stuff which almost nobody liked
and i mean this in a loving way
had to be
>>65876942
Why is /mu/ so obsessed with autism?
serious question
>>65885695
To be fair, most of them are just improvised guitar wankery, which didn't even get proper releases. If you remove those, it's much less.
>>65885721
I think it's pretty obvious why
>>65885749
Why? Because the board is full of autistic people you mean?
>>65885789
Bingo
>>65879401
Drugs just made him weird, watch some documentaries BSSM era and he seems pretty normal
Bumparino
Definitely autismo

No.
