my music routine generally implies having a song or two on repeat for the day because they are a form of stimming for me
I’m not on spectrum on anything (anything diagnosed, anyway) but your comment inspired me to try and have a favorite tune on repeat for several hours, just to see what effect it would have on my ability to focus & anxiety, both of which are things I tend to struggle (although in my case it’s more related to insomnia).
Interesting experience, nicer than I would expect. Normally my music routine is to try and keep things diverse, but I do tend to get distracted by the need to choose what’s next (and radios can have own problems, alghough soma.fm is awesome.) This sort of removed the issue.
I do wonder how I will feel like when I turn it off, then in dreams, and then tomorrow. 😁

(It’s ‘87’ by Janus Rasmussen, by the way, and even after hours I’m still loving it!).
