I read that autism comes with repetitive behavior and restricted interests, so what do you think?

What exactly limits your behavior like my own?

I started out trying to interpret your oddly posed question in good faith, but now I'm realising that it was perhaps misplaced. I don't think that the way that you have come into this community and made this post is appropriate — something that neurotypicals often seem to forget is that autistic people are, first and foremost, people, and we have preferences and boundaries and opinions like any other person does, even if we may communicate those opinions in an idiosyncratic manner.

Did you not think, when asking your question, that if you felt it was too personal for you to feel comfortable answering, that perhaps it wasn't appropriate to ask?
