Date: 2026-03-28 06:19 pm (UTC)But even, what is an "autistic trait"?
For example, I don't normally watch television. I have a television in my living room, but I haven't turned it on since December. I do watch videos on YouTube, on my laptop or my phone, although they aren't "TV Shows" as such, mostly short documentary videos or things in Spanish. Anyway, so when people talk about new tv shows that everyone is following...I don't know what they are talking about, and don't really care.
So is not watching TV an autistic trait? I prefer reading, since I can focus on the images and stories I create in my own mind. And not on the social experience of watching people interact, in a way that I can use to form social bonds with others.
But also...lots of autistic people, at least by modern standards, love television, are into fandoms, follow every show, etc.
So, like, even when it comes to just a preference like that, it could be seen as an autistic trait...or the opposite of an autistic trait?
