Here's a post to share songs that are loosely related to autism. They don't have to specifically mention autism, but be related to it in some fashion. It would be helpful if you include an explanation as to how you find it is related to autism and what the song means to you.

Two come to mind easily:

Fitz and the Tantrums - The Walker

Between "Can't keep up with my rhythm" and "I walk to the sound of my own drum" this song feels very empowering for me at times.

Machine Gun Kelly - bloody valentine

The overcommitment to the relationship in his head and being sad after being overstimulated is very relatable as well.
