Hello Everyone,

Thanks for having me!:) I’m very new here as well as to M. O.’s music, which is surely becoming a hyperfixation for me (and very helpful in finally starting to actually acknowledge that I’m autistic, a good five years after the already late diagnosis (I’m almost 23)). To me, his music feels like an “autistic magnet” (or neurodivergent magnet in general), well, especially Tubular Bells (and his dedication to it!), but also some of the shorter ballads and the way they capture feelings from odd but very natural ways.

Does anyone have a similar “awakening” story (anythint, not just autism; also mental health or identity)? I’m very curious if I’m making this up because I am on this particular part of my personal journey, or if this has been noticed by others.

(By the way, for unhinged but respectful memes, feel free to follow my new meme/fan page on Instagram called lesbian.mike.oldfield 😭 this is by no means advertisement and everything I do there is from a fangirling (gn) angle, so I hope it’s okay to share here.)

Thanks, looking forward to hear some stories:))
