"Autism is a mental disorder that develops in early childhood. Sufferers of the condition develop difficulties with communication and socialising. In many cases, an individual becomes ostracised for being unable to properly interact with others, finding simple concepts, such as joking or sarcasm alien and abstract. Children with autism often gravitate towards obscure media, becoming obsessed and infatuated with something too niche or specific for a mainstream audience to even notice. Due to the intensity of these bizarre obsessions in the early stages of life, special interestisation is often developed during adulthood, a normal loveuality being difficult to establish with little social interaction to base upon."
