Jason Schreurs Rob David of Death of Youth joins host Jason Schreurs to talk about living on the spectrum and how it’s affected his music, from hyper-fixation when writing songs to writer’s block. Rob also reflects on how growing up with autism made him the target of bullies. The punk scene allowed him to open up and eventually feel comfortable being his authentic self.
