Being on the spectrum myself (as I’ve pointed out a few times before - and indeed would like others to if they’re comfortable enough doing so), I’m in absolutely no position to pick on autistics and of course apologise if that’s the impression you got from me.
I am however, perfectly fine with pointing out posters with particularly unusual obsessions (regardless of whether said users are on the spectrum or not) - while of course never personally attacking anyone for their opinions.
Yes, I get that obsessions are a huge characteristic of being on the autism spectrum. But while it’s impossible to ever be a perfect forum member (I’d certainly never claim to be one), at the same time I think it’s important not to let any obsessions you may have at any particular point in time to bleed too much into your online activity if you can help it. At least that’s the approach which works best for me.
Don’t know if this is an obsession as such, but one day I’d actually want to see/hear opinions from autistic Australians (who likely consume at least as much media as any neurotypical, and in many cases more) about how the media represents them. There have got to be some rather interesting stories to tell, especially from those - and we know there have been some in this country and indeed, here in Sydney for that matter - who are on the spectrum and have actually been in the media…
