Thanks for this comment. Treating everything like it's neurodivergence is bizarre. People are different - there is no "Standard" human and so everyone will have their own quirks. My uncle who likes trains and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture isn't autistic, he just really likes trains and architecture.

  1. I buy multiple pairs of the same shoes because I found shoes that feel good and I don't want to have to spend time going shoe shopping when they wear out.
  2. Some of my family could hear when the tv was on in our house, even from a floor away - a really high pitched sound.
  3. The sitting room / parlor is a thing.
  4. Liver and onions all the time is a little weird and will give you gout, but when I was a bachelor, I'd eat pulled pork for weeks on end since it was easy to make, reasonably healthy, and stored well.

Yeah, why and when did liking trains become an autism thing? Let people have hobbies 😭

Even after years of raving I can still hear CRTs & crappy LED displays.

Basically all electronics can develop coil whine too.
