insert politically correct term for what we used to call Asperger's
'Autism Spectrum Disorder'
characterised by an inability to mindlessly buy into the mutual delusion which facilitates neurotypical social interactions
Yes & No. My experience is that I can get swept along with things like this, but quickly move on, but more often than not will avoid them in the hype window then discover a few years later and either realise I missed nowt, or realise I missed out*.
Thankfully, despite living in Coventry for many years, I never got The Enemy so that scathing review mentioned earlier is very validating. I have similar with the band Elbow, however appreciate Guy Garvey's general love of music which comes across in his radio show.
'*For example: I'm currently working through all the Marvel films having missed most of them for no particular reason to date. This is helped by my daughter wanting to watch them so it is good together time.

I was really talking about everyday social interaction, not fandom.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Some might argue that Autism Spectrum Condition is a less stigmatising term 🙂

Aside from being completely unnecessary, is that even a rational thought? Isn't [insert politically correct term for what we used to call Asperger's] characterised by an inability to mindlessly buy into the mutual delusion which facilitates neurotypical social interactions?
