Posted this question on r/aspergirls some time back and I’d like to hear what users on Lemmy have to say.

Do you have a favourite song you don’t listen to a lot? For me, I can’t listen to mine regularly because I don’t want to “wear it out” and make it lose its emotional effect on me; I want to be blown away every time I hear it. It’s a rock song as well, and because of that I don’t want to listen to it much because it can be overstimulating as the instrumental is heavy (in my opinion). I reserve the song for special moments or moments I know I can listen to it better and truly appreciate what a masterpiece it is.

Anybody else feel the same way?

    You have it flipped; autistic folks can and do listen to or watch their favorite music or movie much more than nonautistic folks. That’s related to the repetitive behaviors component of autism.
