    Aren’t these things like popular among, well, people in general? There isn’t really anything here that sticks out.

    Star Wars!

    When my son joined Cub Scouts, we went to our first big Cub event, some big potluck dinner, and I sat next to a kid with a Star Wars t-shirt. I love Star Wars, saw the first movie in the theater, and have been a fan my whole life, so I asked, “You a Star Wars fan?” And he started talking, and so did I.

    We were having a nice conversation about Star Wars, when his mother came up and said “Are you talking about Star Wars again? What did we say about that? You can’t just start talking to random strangers about Star Wars!”

    I responded, “No, you don’t understand, I asked him about it. I love Star Wars, too,” and the kid looked really happy that I’d defended him.

    His mom said, “You don’t understand, he has Asbergers, he’ll NEVER stop talking about it,” which didn’t sound so bad to me, I had lots to talk about with this kid, he was a big fan, and knew his stuff.

    We parted, but I’ve wondered ever since if I have Asperger’s about Star Wars, too. Probably Music, too.

    I relate to others, but isn’t the Rubix cube quite common in STEM people? Dunno what that has to do with autism
