I'm looking for songs and musicians that specifically sing about autism...if it even exists because I've never heard any.

Any recommendations?

Modest Mouse has always resonated really hard with me and I don't think Isaac Brock is autistic necessarily (just done a lot of drugs) their music encompasses a lot of traits I feel like match the autistic experience (for me)

the rambly lyrical style and kind of... nonlinear movement between topics feels like my thought process, I can relate to feelings of stumbling through a confusing life, and of course, failing to connect with others or accidentally damaging relationships

I'd probably start with Moon and Antarctica, or Good News, but I personally love everything they've put out ever (admitting my bias since it's one of my special interests)

edit: I'm ridiculous I missed the part where you said singing specifically about autism pls disregard
