The Autistic Classical Singer: My Story

https://www.csmusic.net/content/articles/the-autistic-classical-singer-my-story/

I grew up as an undiagnosed autistic female in the 1960s when autism was just beginning to be understood in boys but much less so in girls. I had behavioral problems as early as preschool, where I was called “challenging” and I exhibited bouts of meltdowns and lack of self-control (emotional regulation). Nobody knew what to do with me.
