This Youtube video contributed by 'whitetigerdream' superbly summarises the mechanism by which original thoughts and creativity emerge from the private world that an asperger individual tends to build.

It tends to confirm (within me) that my busking diaries between 1994 and 2000 were written by an asperger (me).

My idea of the 'Black sheep' corresponds closely to this mechanism unveiled by 'whitetigerdream'. Within my diaries, I ignored boxes concocted by society to explain behaviour and situations. I tended to study such things with fresh eyes and the end result would often lead to insights and conclusions that were incisive and startling even to myself. From this, songs, ideas and future plans would emerge.

But this phase of my life may never have occurred, were it not for the complete collapse of my life and the loss of everything in it as I trod the road as a busker.

The great thing about my time in Europe is that people and the media utilised other languages. This meant that my outer life was an autistic reality.

I could concentrate on those who mattered to me and things that mattered to me in a beautiful undiluted form. My private world rapidly became my outer world and an exhilarating reality.
