[QUOTE="Fluffymainecoons, post: 1892, member: 194"] There was a UK documentary on this,I can’t remember the name of it-it might have been on Netflix but there was a girl obsessed with American objects, a girl obsessed with a very specific very old fairground ride-she bought it herself After years of it rusting away and I think there was someone obsessed with the tower in Paris, most of the people were on the spectrum,and there was nothing sexual about them in any case shown. to me,it’s a passion for x,y or z object, not a sexual connection. one of my old housemates who was diagnosed with profound autism, was regulary talked about by our staff in front of him as being sexually obsessed with the bonnets on parked cars and toilet bowls, if they bothered to understand him they woud know he learned the world through touch,and if they read into his love for these objects it was always the tactile feel that he went for, nothing sexual. i prefer objects to people,they’re predictable and comforting.
