I don’t know that I’d call it a compliment or an insult? It just was. It was unusual to see “a few dudes in short sleeve button ups and khakis who look like a mildly jamming dad band” keep the concert energy up after Veil of Maya played and performed a much more stereotypical hardcore set. They didn’t speak to the crowd at all, other than the one interruption when the sound wasn’t right. My comment may also have been influenced by the fact that I’ve watched some of his (Tosin Abasi) guitar tutorials on YouTube and it is exceedingly clear that he’s working with a healthy dose of the tism. Calling it autistic wasn’t meant as a compliment or an insult though, just a matter of fact neutral statement about the experience.
