It is a bit of a stereotype that autistics go around wearing headphones

all the time and if it wasn't true, it wouldn't be a sterotype, now would it?

I personally do wear headphones whenever I go out.

I started doing so as a young teeenager to reduce stress and calm myself

down on my way to and from school. Of course, since I have alexithymia

I had no Idea I was feeling stressed or anxious. I just loved the music.

I began listening to the Beatles and in a few months I had downloaded

almost everything they published and knew every song by heart.

Mind you, I still know a good chunk of the lyrics today after having not

listened to them for years.

Since I began actively listening to music I have always chosen the songs

I wanted to hear myself. I have never listened to the radio. I hate to not

know what song will come after and keep my tracks neatly classified.

I obviously became a record collector very early in my life.

When I listen to an artist I naturally prefer to hear the entire album.

It upsets me to see compilations and live albums where the tracks are

in a different order.

Some editions vary from country to country, for example the American

issue of "Extravaganza" by Strackridge from 1975 has a completely

different tracklist than the original British issue and also includes the

a-side single "Do the stanley" from 1973.

The fact that the music I listen to also happens to be my special interest

only makes it more enjoyable and comforting to listen to it.

When I learn about a new band (or rather an old band) I can't rest until

I've heard evey single album, single, solo- and side project they've made.

I took to listening to Prog Rock when I was nineteen and I didn't like

most of it because of how ridiculously strange it was. I literally learned to

love a music genre I wasn't familiar with out of sheer interest.

Every now and then I go back to some albums I initially disliked and

end up simply loving them.

I like instrumental peices just as much as I like songs, though they are

less common.

I personally love to recite lines from my favourite songs during

conversations, even if they make no sense to others.

I esplain them every time and my impression is that no one gives a damn.

But I do it nonetheless!
