No one but me has read the definition of autism and the questionnaires used to define autism! That is a not a reasonable claim.
Having interests on any meaningful level is counted as a symptom for autism.

https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/autism/hcp-dsm.html please read this article about the requirements for asd. It is not having interests on a meaningful level. It is having a highly restricted fixation on narrow interests. Which is also only one of several requirements across multiple areas of life.

Yeah, I know. My point is that people who lack an interest that fits that discription are all rather meaningless creatures without any stake. As born out by reality.
