New term: Autistic Fandom Attachment (AFA)

Posted under /swa/

"Fandumb" can be the layman's term while this can be used in an academic sense and setting. However, we should replace "autistic" with "neurodivergent" to cover more ground and to include more groups of people like the psychopaths and sadist-types that tend to occupy fandumb groups as well. If we can get a paper published with this terminology (I have a few ideas of how to do such a thing), we can do irreparable damage to them in a broad societal scope.

Works for me. I know someone with some background in neurological studies. I can probably ask them if they have any pals to help with this study and putting this to a legit paper. If we can find a few live undocumented samples in the wild and convince them to submit information about their living conditions and whatnot, that might hit the neurological community like crack in a Black neighborhood and it'll spiral out of control. I'm going to try to urge them to record videos of exploring their living space to truly give people the idea that these people aren't stable enough to live with the NFA-mindset.

Do this... just show them furcon or animecon footage and cross reference with neurodivergence
