Finnish Hobbyhorse Girls...

[Crossbreed]

I just read about Finland's Hobbyhorse Girl craze. Does anyone else suspect we'll find closeted autisticas* there?

*Borrowed from Italian. Autistica = female; autistico = male.
Alternatively, neurdette/neurd.

It was reported in 2017 on the NPR show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me:

I'm lost. Is it that hobby horses are kind of a fad there?

Yes.

Oh Those hobby horses. Is it really entertaining to watch someone hop around with a horse head on a stick between their legs? I'm reacting to the video there. I've seen one with a moose head that I'd like to have, but just as a decoration. And, don't get me wrong - if someone wants to hobble around with one, I don't have a problem with that. I just wonder about the people who will go sit and watch.

PDD means that there is a part that hasn't matured in an expected way. Seeming like a deficit, it does confer some benefits.

I don't know about "closeted". Many people don't find out about autism until later in life, and those who do know that they're ausome don't have it written on their t shirt.
So, auties at a hobby horse tournament? Concievably, there might be.
Are you considering taking a trip to Finland to find a girlfriend?

I'm guessing that my wife would object...
