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.
