If I'm going through emotions/thoughts that I don't understand, the music helps me to think everything makes sense. It expresses what I can not seem to express. Also, it makes me feel understood and not alone, so maybe actually that is forming a connection to the outer world.

I know that if I am at a concert or a loud bar with strobe lights, I'll feel very disconnected. Maybe it's just too overwhelming for me, so I dissociate. Also, I sometimes hear very quiet music in the background that is not really there. So, that's an example in which I am not connected at all.

Am I making sense?
It's not that detailed yet----more like this part that determines inner vs outer lights up with music----same part has poor functionality in sz. But yes you are making sense. They just don't know what's going on to that extent but it makes me wonder if listening to music might help strengthen that part of the brain making it function better.
