Does anyone know any songs that either is about, or relates to the struggles of having autism? I'm looking for songs I can relate to since I have autism and listening to songs I relate to is a coping mechanism to me. Sadly I find that there doesn't seem to be very many songs on the struggles of autism directed towards the autistic people themselves and not just the parents or the "you're unique, we can get through this", kinda songs, witch is just NOT what I need when I'm depressed, anxious and/or overwhelmed. Idk if it's just me, but I feel like adults with autism basicly doesn't exist or matter according to the internet :/
Wasn't sure if this belongs in offtopic or suicidediscussion, my apologies if its in the wrong catogory.Mods/Admins, feel free to move this to another catagory if neccecary :)

I made a playlist on Spotify about what having autism feels like for me. Not sure if you'll relate to any of this, but it's nice to share:

Not exactly autism but ADHD :

Bring Me The Horizon - Avalanche


Subject matter songs on autism I'm not sure but I know a lot of artists (specifically metal/rock) tend to be a higher percentage of autists.

Mainly the words have resonance - Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park allowed me as a kid to express emotions but through the song as I didn't know how to express it myself or to other people.
