This is a song by the Mammas and Papas that I always think of whenever someone seems to have a problem with my basic personality.  I’m not completely sold on the band as a whole, but to me this song at least is an anthem I think everyone should take to heart, Aspergers or not.

Nobody can tell you

There’s only one song worth singing

They may try and tell you

Cos it hangs them up to see someone like you,

But you’ve gotta…

Make your own kind of music,

Sing your own special song,

Make your own kind of music

Even if nobody else sings along.

You’re gonna be knowing

The loneliest kind of lonely,

It may be rough going

Just to do your thing

The hardest thing to do

But you’ve gotta…

Make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song,

Make your own kind of music

Even if nobody else sings along.

So if you cannot take my hand

And if you must be going I will understand…

You’ve gotta

Make your own kind of music

Sing your own special song,

Make your own kind of music

Even if nobody else sings along.
