I found TMBG from their Here Come Science album I had bought for my young nephew at the time. TLDR: it’s great and I kept it.

My favorite is that they made a song about the sun being made of gas but then found out that was wrong, so they made a follow up song calling themselves out “forget that song, we got it wrong, the thesis has been rendered invaaaalid…” ❤️

Apparently the “sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma”

Thank gods my mom was autistic; she let me take a day off when I wanted. At least in 8th grade, when there was a juvenile meningitis epidemic in our city, she said that under no circumstances was I to fake being sick; I should tell her I wanted a day off instead, and she'd let me take one.

The answer to your grammar question at the beginning is: It depends on whether you're speaking American English or British English. In American English, it's the way Matt said. In British English, a collective noun that contains individual members takes "are". So, "TMBG are autistic" is correct in British English.

That powder that changes the way things taste? Look up M Berry or Miracle Fruit! My (autistic) kiddo heard about it on YouTube and we ordered some tablets online. We had the best time eating sliced lemons that tasted just like lemonade.
