A band called the Fleet Foxes record on Sub Pop records and were written up in a recent Rolling Stone in a way that suggests that the singer in an AS of some kind .

Yes. I too would be interested in the source. Fleet Foxes is one of my favorite bands.

he only mentions social anxiety and being a loner. that's not necessarily AS, although I'd like to think that he is.

As usual, I'd wait until an actual diagnosis is made. There are other people who made it big in music who explicitly claim to have AS or were even diagnosed.

i've seen them live (twice) and I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary about Pecknold. However, since new-to-me people have a hard time telling if I have AS and i've been officially diagnosed with it, i'll wait for an actual diagnosis.

BTW, their record is fantastic, and is probably the most talked about indie release of the year not by Vampire Weekend or Deerhunter.
