Its never the high functioning ones either , they are into fucking Flight Simulators and Coding or whatever , it's kinda the goober ones , low-functioning ones I suppose , by inference .

Its latching on to a cute character with a fondness and finding a social group or individuals sharing the same appreciation. Being online communicating with others, participating in social networks, regular use of Nostr, Telegram, Reddit, Facebook, Snapchat, Discord are all indicators that someone is in fact NOT autistic (the nothing part). But some people swear they or their peers MUST be autistic because they do things not understood, have an extreme focused passion for something, or repeatedly do dumb things, e.g. 100x leverage trades (the everything part). True autists are exceptionally rare, and usually need caretakers or consistent environments to function.
