Autism often involves strong obsessions, so it's not wrong. Why does this matter? Fantastic article on the whole.

- liquidise 11y agoSure, but obsessions are hardly the characterizing trait of Autism, nor are they even included in literary definitions. I agree the article is wonderful, but i came to these comments specifically to see if that phrase had given anyone else pause.
- sotojuan 11y agoNo idea if the author intended it this way, but on some forums and imageboards it's normal to refer to being obsessive about something as "being autistic about it". It's similar to how most people call themselves "OCD".
