    That’s not exclusive to autism. It’s common in all people

      Iirc, the point of the paper was that autistic people tend to do it more than non-autistic people, and on a broader scale.

      Interestingly, one thing it pointed out was that people with autism tend to focus on the “non-human in online roleplaying and games” which is something I’ve (unsurprisingly) seen a lot.

          That’s basically furries. Furries tend to be more likely to be autistic compared to the general population. I think non-autistic people tend to find furry stuff a bit uncanny at times, while autistic people can read them easily.

      egg-fkin-zactly! You know how many people I have seen personify things they like? But…I don’t want the paper to be sad, so I guess I will read it =/!

      This is going to sound horrible but 10/10 I am not reading this bullshit.
