I think I might have trouble connecting with people. I get into burnout a lot. Therapists don't empathize with me so that hasn't helped. I do feel I connect with music though.

It seems as though this synchronicity does not work with an autistic and non autistic person. Thoughts?

[@senseofmindshow]

That's a good question. I haven't looked very deeply into this area, but from what I've read it seems that, yes, individuals with ASD tend to show lower inter-brain synchronization with conversation partners (whether the conversation partner has ASD or not). It seems that the severity of autism symptoms helps predict the deficit of inter-brain synchronization. Here's a recent study on this topic if you're interested: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/aur.2513
