Any other Aspie musicians?

I need to step my game up on the music Big Time....it may save me in the end....the NT job world is just brutal.:(

I have a weakness for Symphonic rock....but am not sure how my own music will sort? I like Harmony and melody as much as rhythm.
Basically I tend to want too much...I always reach too high...always one more thing to study to be perfect...there is something to just getting out there and doing it.
The bands that win are ones who keep getting in the bus...and writing new songs

Mozart was allegedly an Aspie, but I don't think he was ever formally diagnosed, and I think Beethoven might've been, you can't get much more famous than either of those 2.

Also that bloke out of the Tubeway Army, did songs such as "Are Friends Electric?" in the early 80s had Aspergers apparently.

I would like to find out the same, since Mozart is a BIG inspiration of mine as a musician!! I would have liked to pick his head how he could have all that music already finished in his head!!

No-one was formally diagnosed back in the 18th century, for the simple reason that Asperger syndrome had not been officially recognised. There are those who say that Mozart's character traits are more typical of Tourette than Asperger (Link), but the syndromes are related, aren't they?

Erik Satie is speculated to have been an Aspie: Link

As is Béla Bartók: Link

No-one's slapped that label on Johann Sebastian Bach yet, as far as I'm aware.
 
This Is What The Big People Do

This song was inspired from a dream I had. Amiléa at the park with her camera and she’s staring at me and all I’m doing is crying.


 
I've recently been told of Jamulus, which is a software platform that allows you to link up with others to play or sing together in small groups - apparently. How this works with latency I have no idea. Has anyone here used it?
 
I'm a composer, and also I've played the pipe organ, harpsichord, and piano. I'm an amateur--far from professional---but I do hope to earn my living one day through my craft.
