I feel like autistic people can get hyperfixated on hypothetically anything, but because only men tend to get acknowledged as autistic, only their interests are associated with autism e.g. video games, comic books, etc. But we don't talk much about what autistic women are into.

There are lots of different types interested in celeb gossip. The casual ones who just pay attention to tabloid headlines, the ones who care about celeb gossip for the fun showmances, etc. And then there are ones who go deep into celebrity lore, write fanfic about celeb couples, write theories about the meaning of why a celeb did this or that, those who are interested in the image-making behind celebs, etc. It's a huge generalization, but I can see how there's a link between that type of hyperfixation and autism.

I am NOT saying autistic women can't be into "male-coded" interests or that being an autistic woman means you have to be into celeb gossip, etc. I am not interested in having an argument about statements I'm making that are clearly generalizations, so no one try me.[/quote]
