@1Thompsonmusic Do a little research. Glenn Gould is one of the most important pianists of the 20th century. His music and his opinions/eccentricities are what make him fascinating (but mostly, his music). Listen to his Bach interpretations, and it should all make sense.

@pheadhones Cease the pathetic clutching at straws.

@skyd171 You do realize one does not die from AIDS, don't you?
-
@pheadhones You must be daft. One need not be diagnosed with AIDS to die from it. What's more, it's obvious that he would not be diagnosed, given that he grew up in the 30's. For those with functioning logical processes, it is clear that the scientific understanding of neuroscience and psychology at this time was infantile.
What's more, you admit you don't know what autism is, yet argue Gould did not have it. You are an ignorant, bull-headed, jackass.
-
@skyd171 Gould was never diagnosed as such and all of his personal eccentricities can be and have been explained without mention of autism. Please stop trying to pass off your opinion-based speculation as historical fact.

@pheadhones Don't be foolish, you just claimed that Gould was not autistic, but then admit that you have little clue what autism is. You're the one spreading misinformation and uneducated opinions.
"I get along better with animals than I do with humans.." I concur.

...Maybe my fascination and admiration for animals and young children comes from the fact that I can relate to them more than adults - I was an autistic child myself and still in many ways have the brain of a child - this has gotten me into trouble many times in the adult world, where I have been too straightforward in my remarks. I've not learned to fake interest and hospitality towards people I dislike, and my social relationships (with fellow adults) have suffered as a result.
