Autistic adult here who was completely homeschooled (except three short years of 'public school' hell - late 4th to early 7th grade) and the song, "Car Radio" by 21 Pilots, is scarily reminiscent of my teen years and basically my whole childhood growing moderately to severely 'neurodiverse' with over six disabilities (all clinically diagnosed at age ten/preteen) and extremely lonely, never attending any 'high school' outside home so I had almost no friends except internet friends. Many blame 'bad parenting/bad choices' for me having to be homeschooled all my life, but with extreme sensory issues, G.I. issues and may more under the label 'neurodiversity', I think twice.
Big fan of AJR here, always nice to discover another one. I've never thought of their songs this way before, so I very much appreciate the added perspective! If you've never gotten to see them live, I highly recommend. I saw them twice in 2019 (in fact, that was the last concert I went to), and they put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. I just wrote a review of their new album on my husband's Substack, if you want to give it a read:

Agree.

Thank you.

That's great, thank you.
I haven't seen them live, but my daughter, who put me onto them has, and she loved it.
