Thoughts on the Big Project

 

The Big test results shed a positive light on the ADHD condition as far as creativity is concerned. Although it seems this study is slightly disregarding any ASD traits with creativity except in a context of ASD sufferers becoming socially isolated due to social norm pressures and difficulties, thus finding their special interest and hyper focus and fixations allows them to be more creative and achieve more in a solitary environment, this bringing the studies theories and test subjects together. However, recent studies indicate increased autistic traits in musicians with absolute pitch and a higher proportion of absolute pitch in people with autism and


we see creativity in abundance in social situations such as bands with Autistic musicians like-

Introduction

  What struggles and positive aspects of living with a Neurodevelopmental condition bring to researching in the field of electronic music? To shed some light on this, I have been undertaking various reading and listening of electronic musical material and most of my work has been composing electronic music, I am going to contextualize my music into the body of works. I have decided to combine my research with two Neurodiverse conditions I live with. I have extended my reading and research to include this field. Neurodiverse people tend to be drawn towards the creative arts and I felt this would be a good research question to pursue.
