Autistic Hedgehog

This is completely outside my sphere of experience, hedgehogs not being known for their musical acumen and all. I will try, but I really don’t know the first thing about music, except I like it fast, with lots of drums.

For a lot of it, it may be that practicing will get you somewhere. Working harder at making up for the areas where you’re weakest. Everyone has weaknesses, after all, things they need to focus more attention on than other aspects of what they’re doing. If you know anyone who might be willing to help you get more comfortable working in groups, see if they’ll spend a little time working with you outside of classes. That way you’ll also get a chance to spend some time on it without feeling pressured.

As to stimming while you perform…a lot of performers move around a lot. What kind of stims do you do when you perform? Do you think there might be a way you can adjust these a little so they appear to be just part of your performance? Stims can and do change; tweaking them a little should be within the realm of possibility.

And there’s that age old advice: Fake it til you make it. It might be cliche, but it can work. Especially if this is something you really want.
