Beer Question #2

Sometimes people who are autistic-spectrum have difficulty parsing the implicit meaning of speech, including intonation and body language. Songs are chock-full of conflicting expressions like "Yeah oh no no yeah" and "Oh whoah oh". This actually drives me nuts when I hear it—I think "make up your mind! Is it yes or no?"

Do autistic-spectrum individuals have trouble interpreting lyrics like these? How does it change their experience of music?
