I think this song describes Autism

Aside from the song itself, which I find totally atrocious, the lyrics are a perfect description of us, I think.
It's in German, so here's my best try at translation:

I'll stay here in my room and I'm not leaving
I don't want to enter your world because mine looks totally different
And as confident as you speak
And as naturally as you behave
I'm not like that

I'll stay here in my room and I cover myself with blankets
with invisible ink I write on the walls: "leave me alone"
My universe is snowy (<-- difficult to translate)
I'm sorry, but you're wasting your time

I breathe in, I breathe out
I solve a riddle but I get no result
I breathe in, I breathe out
I give new names to objects and to myself too
I connect, I disconnect (<-- hard to translate, this is not the literal translation)
I'm only passing through, I'm not at home here

If you want to be close to me
be quiet and calmly sit down next to me
Follow your breath and stop discussing
Open your eyes and look
tolerate me as I am
there's nothing else

and then some repetitions.


What do you think? I'm actually convinced the songwriter had Autism in mind.

Lot's of people feel like this without specifically having autism in mind.
