Prettiest Aspie ever ? Agnetha

[Guest guest]

An interview (broken in 4 parts) with Agnetha

Faltskog (The ABBA Blonde ;-). Enough evidence

(esp. from part 2) that she is One Of Us ?

Thank you for thinking about this,

Mircea,

When I went to college in the early seventies, I noticed that many of my

social errors were assumed to be intentional, because doing some of the tiings I

did by mistake was somehow viewed as stylish (I live in the USA). There was

some counter-culture youth thing going on that I fit, just by being my ASpie

self! therefore, it is easy to believe that a female rock star with that group

could easily be AS.

I am sorry to hear that. Were you close to her?

Thank you.

people have been having parents die since the beginning of time.

But it is hardest on those who survive and I think of my father being alone

when before his life revolved around her.

I don't know how to define close insofar as how close can someone with my dx

be?

As close as possible. I did what I could to be kind and good and nurturing

and I don't have regrets.

She was kind. I was adopted which fed my sense of not belonging. I did not

resemble her in habit, looks, or any sense. But as I say she taught me to be

a nice person so that is a good thing.

Maybe someone like me who is capable of some sense of detaching is better

equipped for death, I am not calloused to it but I started preparing a few

months ago.

As I say, it is the one surviving, my father who lives in a sorrow now very

alone. I know she's fine. Its him I know has to grieve, yes but I do 'feel'

that he could die of a broken heart.

there is no one alive that will love me like my father.

That will be the toughest for me.

If I could live nearer him I would.

I washed his curtains, the first time in many yrs. Threw out old food, etc.

etc.

My life goes on.

I thank you for inquiring and I apologize for the longwindedness.

You are supposed to be long-winded at this time. My friends and family taught

me that when my mother passed away- I was only 16 1/2- and it was quite hard on

me. We were very close. I know that ASpies can grieve deeply, even if it does

not look quite the same to NTs at times. When you grieve, the social rules do

not apply- if you want to weep in public, it is fine. If you want to sleep more

hours, or be alone, it is fine. If you want to be long-winded, definitely, it is

fine! I am glad that you care about your father like that- I grew really

attached to my grandmother- her mother- and in caring about each other, we were

able to get through a hard time, and have years to enjoy each other's company.

I wrote her every few days, and if I didnt, she would ask why I didn't write. I

loved it! We were a lot alike.

Therefore, I am saying- am i correct? Only you know-- write your father

often. Call often. Stay close. mourn together, and grow together. And, if

you lose it, in grief, it's fine- at least in my book. Who cares about NT rules

in grief? NTs don't even care at times like those!

Hello, I have watched this now and of course, seems like she's one of us. But I

wonder how she delt with all the noise on the cencerts of ABBA and all the

stress travelling all over the world. I doubt that she's one of us. Here in

Sweden nobody has ever thought of this.

There have been other AC performers in similar environments.

Different people have different sensitivities and tolerances.

Well, I think she *has* mild elements but well recognizable

by those who know ;-)

ABBA music was quite structured, not tavern-like 'noise'.

Rehearsing before she could know what follows...

> of ABBA and all the stress travelling all over the world.

This vulnerability of Agnetha has been a main factor of

the band's breakup. Red-haired Frida wanted more live

concerts, Agnetha wanted less but was " perfectionist "

for studio recording... so we have to thank for such opus.

Well, maybe not enough for clinical criteria.

But I thought it may help awareness about our traits ;-)

I also had a pointer to a Swedish newspaper on her

" reclusiveness " and various not-too-well-meaning gossip...

Thank you for thinking about this,

I used to listen to ABBA quite a bit because my mom was an ABBA nut.

But now I can't remember any of the music, except to remember that I

liked it. Some day when I am not on dialup I will try to view the video

clips.

It's also quite singable music to listen to.
