An autistic person is reportedly unable to learn the Hot to Go dance as they’re still trying to wrap their heads around the Y.M.C.A

Eddie Albington, 36, has been trying to learn the 1978 disco hit since early childhood, but still flails about uncertainly between each letter.

“I’m also dyspraxic and dyslexic,” Albington told us. “Which doesn’t help. But I’m determined to get it eventually.”

“It’s fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A,” Albington sang, forming their arms into a T, a W, a U with an umlaut on it and the Eiffel Tower.

“I’ll learn the Hot to Go dance,” Albington insisted. “Just as soon as I’ve nailed this, and then the Macarena.”
