I've posted this before but since the topic is on the board again, I'll post it again.
I think an anthem for aspies would be "Alien" by the Atlanta Rhythm Section. I used to hear it on the radio alot when I was growing up and it spoke to me, describing how I felt, and what I hoped for.
Here it is.
The sun just went behind a cloud again
Down crowded streets he walks alone
He's a stranger out of place
A number not a face
All day long, he's all alone
He's feeling like an alien
Feeling like he don't belong
Have mercy cried the alien
Help him find his way back home
The feelings that he feels he can't explain
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, they're all the same
He's lost and all alone
A heart without a home
Standing like a statue, in the rain
He's feeling like an alien
Feeling like he don't belong
Have mercy cried the alien
Help him find his way back home
Now and then we all are aliens
Feeling like we don't belong
Have mercy cried the alien
Help him find his way back home _________________ PrisonerSix
The Tetris theme should be our anthem
it's often in my head, especially since I saw this video

I still think VNV Nation has some of the best music... and this song is at the top of that scale, describing so many feelings that i think relate to this very subject.
"I know it's hard to tell how mixed up you feel
Hoping what you need is behind every door
Each time you get hurt, I don't want you to change
Because everyone has hopes, you're human after all
The feeling sometimes, wishing you were someone else
Feeling as though you never belong
This feeling is not sadness, this feeling is not joy
I truly understand, Please, don't cry now
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Being like you are
Well this is something else, who would comprehend?
But some that do, lay claim that
Divine purpose blesses them
That's not what I believe, it doesn't matter anyway
A part of your soul ties you to the next world
Or maybe to the last, I'm still not sure
What I do know is, to use the world is different
As we are to the world but, I guess you would know that
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you
Please don't go, I want you to stay
I'm begging you please, please don't leave here
I don't want you to hate for all the hurt that you feel
The world is just illusion trying to change you"

Feel no pain, but my life ain't easy
I know I'm my best friend
No one cares, but I'm so much stronger
I'll fight until the end
To escape from the true false world
Undamaged destiny
Can't get caught in the endless circle
Ring of stupidity
[chorus:]
Out for my own, out to be free
One with my mind, they just can't see
No need to hear things that they say
Life's for my own to live my own way
Rape my mind and destroy my feelings
Don't tell me what to do
I don't care now, 'cause I'm on my side
And I can see through you
Feed my brain with your so called standards
Who says that I ain't right
Break away from your common fashion
See through your blurry sight
[chorus:]
See them try to bring the hammer down
No damn chains can hold me to the ground

Those song lyrics seem very...... emo.
Heh...
I can't read past the term "mixed up" feelings, myself.
