I wouldn’t read to much into things being an autism thing.
My thing is that i am an audiophile that collects music but also that I know fuck all about most music.
Most music is good when hearing it in the right context but i only listen to music i really love. So when i hear something really good i have to own everything from that artist just in case they have another track that tickles the same spots and there other material tends to be pretty good usually to expand my horizon.
So because of autism i almost always listen to full albums i sourced myself in flac. Most people think thats weird.
About this high functioning guy. He reads as neurodivergent to me but remember that autism as a term is often used in the context of a disability which should always consider the personal experience. He is not like most people but there is not enough negative impact to need that self awareness. Then you appear like your trying to put your label on their identity and they roll eyes.
