She has this image of being weird but her songs make sense to me. I found this short interview of her on youtube from 1988. I know it is impossible to know for sure but she is my favourite artist and it would be nice to think I'm not doomed by having aspergers. What do you think?

No, I don't think Björk is on the spectrum. She's a very unusual person and makes very unusual music, but as far as I know she doesn't have many AS traits and her social skills seem to be fine.

I like her music though.

People can be weird. That doesn't mean they are autistic.

She's by no means a typical Icelander though. She's considered a weirdo in Iceland too. I'm Icelandic too and even I am less weird than she is. Laughing

Aww that's a shame. I was hoping to go to Iceland one day and find everyone as odd as Bjork.
I think she's ace.

Sorry to disappoint you. The thought of a country full of people like Björk is cool though. That would be one heck of an unusual, but cool nation. Laughing

First, no matter what your not doomed because of AS, if you are doomed it's because you are human. Second, Bjork is Icelandic.

She's a great performer, but I'm not sure if she's on the spectrum or not. Cool

She is definitely on the eccentric side, but I couldn't say for sure if she's an Aspie.

I do like her music, mainly because I am a big Iceland enthusiast.

Bjork is good, but I loves me some Sigur Ros!!!
