Mapping Autism’s blessings & pitfalls, with the Amiga!

[Paulee_Alex_Bow]

Hey folks,

Something a little bit different today.
In this new video, I use some long-forgotten Amiga software called “FlowCharter”
to map out the positives & negatives of being Autistic; what that means musically, & crucially, what that means emotionally.

I hope you find it informative

I know several long-time Amiga users that are on the spectrum to varying degrees.

Amiga is the perfect multi-faceted special interest for an Autistic person

I'm not even sure what my diagnosis would be, but if the passion for Amiga is a metric it must be off the charts then.

Possibly that passion exists because of the loss of potential the Amiga suffered, and the deeply held desire to make the machine get that potential back.

The Amiga computer was marketed as the machine for the creative mind. No such thing as a coincidence...
