I'm nothing much of a musician. Cannot play instrument and not very good with making beats or sound editing programs. However, I can write song/rap lyrics and I can rap and freestyle decently. Almost all my NT friends like my raps for some reason.

I'm good when I can be bothered. At 15 I started taking Music as a GCSE (that's English :wink: ) and I passed with a C despite not playing anything before then. I also got a higher grade than my guitar obcessed friend who had played guitar for a whole year before me, so I was really pleased with myself.

Nowadays, I've lost all inspiration :(

I don't play, my mind is more logic set than artistic set, no matter how much I wish I could have both I'd probably lose the science, which isn't worth it in my opinion

Math and music are deeply related. I'm in the 99th percentile in math and I like to think in guitar playing too, though I've only been playing for a year or so(not obsessively).

Yeah I can see where your coming from, sadly I epic fail at both maths and music, but I'm genius at science, odd how aspie brains work I guess? My dads definately aspie, he is brilliant at maths, human calculator style, not amazing at science, but good in philosophical talks, whereas i'm terrible at maths but A* at Chemistry, Physics and Biology, it scares me sometimes :P

I can get good at playing the guitar when I practice because I have that typical AS trait of hyperfocusing on one thing for ages at a time.

Haven't played in a while though.....
