i have met many weeaboos in my life and not all of them were autistic.

it's possible to be like this without being autistic. plenty of people realize and simply don't care

Not reading the flow of the conversation, alienating potential friends because this, and having an obsessive interest in a narrow subject all read as autism to me.

(Anonymous) 2017-10-13 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
are you insinuating people cannot be like that without being autistic? or that all weeaboos that act like must be autistic?

cause if so... gonna back away from this conversation now

Yep. My friend isn't autistic, but when she got into video games, she got so she started relating EVERYTHING we talked about to a video game or something video game-related. She was just really into her new hobby, but it got tiresome fast, and I didn't spend as much time around her for a while.

Then there's my dad, who will actively force every conversation in the direction of whatever topic he's into at the moment, using any means necessary, including laughing in your face and trying to make you feel stupid for talking about whatever you had started talking about.

yeah exactly. people can be obsessive or way way into something enough to want to talk about it all the time even if it drives others off without being autistic

people can also not care if others are put off and go around searching for someone who will talk to them about what they want to talk about

I know a couple of people like this, too. They like A Thing, and they get really into it, and suddenly that's all they want to discuss.

This. There was a new hire at my old place of work who was an...okay worker, I guess. Definitely not autistic or with other mental/emotional issues. But she could not stop talking about My Little Pony. Like...yeah, I get being a fan. I really do. But this coworker just had ZERO concept that she was weirding out EVERYONE, me included--and, though I'm not into MLP myself, I know enough about it to know exactly what she was talking about 90% of the time but after about 2 minutes of her talking I just DID NOT CARE.

Gal did not last past her trial period. I am still kicking myself to this day that I didn't take a moment to pull her aside and just give her a gentle "Hey I love that you're so enthusiastic about this but there's a time and a place and it's not here with these people" because I really think she simply hadn't been told that before.

It's no different than a sports fan not knowing when to stfu about sports. Doesn't mean they're autistic by any means. Just that they're so focused on their fandom that they have difficulty grasping the whole 'time and place' idea. Or they do understand the idea and simply love the power of boring people to death in any situation.
