Popping in from all, not autistic but with my ADHD when listening to any electronic music (recommend some of Degitx if you like metal as well) I will kinda sway back slightly and forth with a huge grin on my face

I really only notice I do it with electronic music which is like #3 favorite behind fantasy adventure and metal
