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
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 🙂

I'm not very good at that either, it turns out.

Agreed, it is still presented as disorder in many places and replacing that with condition sounds much less stigmatising to me.
Even the NAS refer to it as "disorder" in their info:
The diagnosis (Asperger's) was retired in the next editions of these publications, the DSM-5 in 2013 and the ICD11 in 2019, when it was folded into the diagnosis of ‘autism spectrum disorder’.

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.
