Does Canadian cult heroine Mary Margaret O'hara have AS? While watching the Harry Smith Project Live (a dvd showcasing live sets of artists covering rural Americana songs), I watched her perform and my aspiedar went off. I started looking her up on youtube:

I mean that's some obvious stimming while performing and her voice is so idiosyncratic :cheers:

What do ya'll think?

She's very interesting. I had never heard of her. IDK about AS- her movements look like stimming but how is that different from Joe Cocker?[youtube]http://[/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEdV-zK8UOQ]

Hard to say; I don't have 'aspiedar' (or is that a sign of it?...;)

Joe Cocker was high as a kite. He had a distinctive style, where only the top half of his body moved...;)

I have enough trouble getting pictures to load on this site (grrr...;) so don't feel bad...;)

Say hello to Harold Lloyd for me...;)
