Saw franchise. If I find out a guy I’m talking to also loves horror movies, I might use that as a way to build our relationship.
We all love it when our potential partners are similar to us… although I would be open to a clone!A common misconception that comes along with this, however, is that we autistic people are “selfish” or “self-centered” for talking so much about our “special interests” which, again, are just our interests and no more special than anyone else’s.
Just remember, it’s just us talking about what makes us happy. That said, being autistic doesn’t make it okay to only talk about our interests.
If you feel like you aren’t being given the space to express your own passions and interests to your autistic partner, communicate that.
