Is curiousity related to autism? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I always had the impression, specially when looking at my own case of autism that curiousity seemed linked to it.

what you all think? Is there any possible relation?

I think it is. A lot of the other replies seem to be saying that we can't make accurate assessments about how curious others are and that's true. However, allistic people seem to comment on my curiosity more than any other trait. Most of my work feedback is about knowing when I should say "Idk but good luck ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚" versus going on a journey of discovery with some one.

So maybe we are equally curious but they can control it better lol
