But are autistic people able to do more than one thing at a time? I confess I don't actually know, but my impression is that when a person with autism focuses on something it is to the exclusion of everything else... unable to switch tasks as easily as those without the condition.
Ask a person with autism who is playing that song a question while they're playing, and would they even hear you?
