    Well you can hear the same song on repeat 272 times and not be autistic, but as far as I can tell, this could be one of the diagnostic criteria.

    From time to time, there’s some new K-pop that my wife goes crazy over, and every single car ride after that will have that song playing multiple times. It’s not on loop only because I would consider throwing us off a cliff if the playlist didn’t have at least 19 other songs on it. :)

      OK, so you’ve clearly never had kids. Kids, generally, love hearing some song they like hundreds of times over and over. There’s probably no parent in the last 10 or so years that isn’t sick to death of hearing Bluey songs. That does not automatically make there was kids autistic. Yes, often adults like to do this too. It just means that you like the song or whatever else you’re watching or listening to.

      If anything, it might be classified as slightly neurotic or a little bit obsessive. But it has nothing to do with autism.
