  • Daniel from Winchester, OhIts a really good song with a great meaning, Ive just downloaded it thanks to Landon and its a really great song
  • Landon from Winchester, OhI also have Asperger's, and this song describes all too well about me. His mother and brother saying he should fly into a spaceship means that he withdraws from his family and friends and they therefore no longer want him around. And they just drift off into their own little world that they created inside of their mind. I really wish I could interact with my family more but I know the reason I don't interact with them is my fault.

    I'd also like to add that Craig Nicholls spit in a guy's face and kicked a photogropher at one of his concerts, and charges were pressed. But once it was discovered that he has Asperger's syndrome, all the charges were dropped and immediate treatment was attempted.
