Jim Thornton's Website Autism in Scotland Mindblind "A song for Autism"
     

The lyrics of the song show the world from the point of view of a person with an ASD and the song to listen to is very touching, if you know about ASD can bring a tear or 6 to the eye as you listen to the song.

The Lyrics of the song are as follows:

They say the name of my problem is just another "ism"
Social rules are the bars of my prison
Of 67 words, I caught your first two

Hey I'm a little bewildered
I'm a might perplexed
I'm not even certain
What I'm gonna do next

So take it slowly
Say one more time I'll be with you

Chorus:

So what the hell
I bite my hand
How can I be strange
In a strange man's land?
I just don't get your jokes

Mindblind

Sometimes the colours can hurt
And I'm really not certain why
I flap the light
But it's me you're with tonight

Mindblind

It's a broken road
No miracle cure
You stumble if you're rich
And you stumble if you're poor

They say there's treatment
But I'm really not sure
About that

Oh you can change my coffee
You can change my tea
For god's sake warn me
If you're gonna change me

I appreciate consistency most days

Chorus

You know where you are
On the dinosaur track
Cars and trains
They don't answer back

I know every bus and
My ticket collection
Has grown

Hey it's a 53B and a 4X4
A Flying Scotsman and
A Plesiosaur
If this is the real world
I'd rather be a bore
And hide

Chorus X2
