jeremy corbyn's specific interest

Is Jeremy Corbyn's specific interest like an aspie's?

Admirers of drains and manhole covers have found an unlikely ally

Not sure as we don't know whether its an obsessive interest or just a general interest. After all, people get into all kinds of interests - some of whom get into those interests passionately - without necessarily having Autism and Aspergers.
Heck, I remember seeing a guy who wasn't autistic but whose interest was to stand on a motorway bridge and take photos of the lorrys going under the bridge.

Hard to say, though it just strikes me as interesting to say the least!

Especially from one so well known in Britain...

I think the autism spectrum is much bigger in some countries than most people realize. I estimate it's as high as 1 in 10 people in some developed countries despite only 1 in 100 meeting the full criteria for a diagnosis.
