I have a theory that the more lore a franchise has, the more of an autistic fanbase it has. I made a graphic about it. (lemmy.ml)

Star Trek has a large autistic fanbase? I mean I know we're a bunch of nerds but...

If you hang around the communities you'll notice a lot of people who admire Spock or Data in terms of relating to their emotional struggles and relating to the broader community. It depends on where you hang out but yeah, there's a lot of autism around Star Trek, and it's just the genuine kind of people who are neurodivergent.
