What are Female Autists common interests?

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Solution
History/Geneaology (including royal family lineages), books, fandoms (or according to the book Fandom Families), anime, animals, languages/foreign accents, the arts, eating disorders such as binge eating/anorexia/bulimia, skin picking, social psychology, Disney, Mythologies/Folkore, cosplay, historical fiction, time travel
Collections of whatever and lining them up
  • Girls on the spectrum may feel more intensely connected to fictional or historical characters than to real people
  • Biographies (books, documentaries, films) are a favorite way to study people and from their relationships develop a larger personal emotional vocabulary and learn "how to be"

Solution
Same shit as regular autists.

t. I know a few of them personally
I will say the Squishmallow obsession seems to be unique among the female autismos. I've seen the plush obsession among the men, but not the "beanie babies for zoomers" fixation.
 
I don't even know what a squishmallow is
Imagine a Funko Pop crossed with a pillow-sized beanie baby and you basically have it. Maybe the one I know IRL is unique but she gushes about a whole network of facebook groups dedicated to tracking them down, so I assume it's a widespread thing among that demographic. She's straight up asked me to let her know if I see one of like 5 'mallows she's after in a Fred Meyer somewhere, and I've been too polite to tell her I can't be bothered.
