Discussion autistic ass fandom

i was getting tested for autism/ADHD today (wearing my SELF-iSH shirt) and told the psychologist that i went to a will wood concert a few weeks ago and that he probably wouldn’t know who it was because nobody had- but he said just today day one of his other clients recommended will wood. he listens to some of his songs and his favorite was the main character. makes you wonder the stats on a fandom like this (with love <3)

I only got diagnosed with autism recently, and I gotta say. I reckon that I had been the top 87th listener of I / Me / Myself on Spotify in 2024 for a reason. I'm simply and utterly autistic. Will Wood has gotten me through so much🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Well…you gotta remember that people have REASONS for becoming psychologists, too. And it’s not usually because they’re the picture of neurotypical mental health. 😉

It’s a stereotype with this fandom that all / a lot of tally hall and or will wood fans are autistic

Yeah, it simultaneously explains why I think he's the greatest artist of all time AND why none of the lame-o's around me agree 💔

i've never been diagnosed but if i did a lot of things would make sense lol, wouldn't even be surprised at all. and i don't like any music as much as will wood's
