>>56875748>I'm more intrigued why franchises like Sonic and Pokemon attract so many autistic people (Condition)because we often have trouble connecting to non autistics
I can't speak on the sonic thing since I'm not a fan, but for pokémon, it appeals to my collector autism, as well as a sense of escapism since those of us born with it (fuck off virtual "autists") are often born to dysgenic parents
my mom, for example, is considered medically infertile, and I'm her only biological child
>I don't mean to insult, but I genuinely don't understand why they are so obsessed with these, but things like Muppets, other Cartoons or games full of colorful characters don't catch their attentionthese things absolutely have large populations autists, they are just less relevant because people don't shine a spotlight on them
>Minecraft should be especially appealing to them and yet I find more in Sonic and Pokemonthere are different types of autism, I guarantee that most people who build megastructures in minecraft are somewhere on the spectrum
>>56878673this is true, we do like certain repetitive actions
>>56878775>I just feel sorry for these people for wasting so much of their potential into mid-tier franchises, imagine if they got into science or philosophy or classical literature instead, at least I would have someone to discuss these topics with in good faithphilosophy and classical literature are overrated, and many autists actually do enjoy learning about scientific fields, I myself like to learn about zoology
you seem to think that liking a franchise and studying things from the real world are mutually exclusive, when most of us do both
