It is an acknowledged symptom that Aspies have songs in their head. That’s not a purely Aspie trait though…
For me:
- the song is often one I don’t consciously like, for example a kids TV show theme
- I listen to a lot of music, and I’ve never found a reason behind the songs that stick
- since I’ve been aware of my Aspie traits, I’ve noticed that I often have several concurrent songs in my head, although obviously they don’t play over the top of each other – that would be schizophrenic. Right now I have Rockin Robin and a Depeche Mode song
- at worst the songs are a little annoying, but for the most part they boost my spirit, and might even be the root cause for my happy nature
- I sing in the shower. I don’t like my voice (and I’m incapable of singing in public) but I would sing in the shower regardless. I think I understand songs better than I can sing them
Music is numbers, and Aspies seem to be good with numbers. I think some Aspies can be artistic with music, although probably not performers.
