    My husband’s main hobby is collecting baseball cards, but he also makes money buying and selling them (along with Pokémon and MTG). He was always a bit embarrassed of this hobby until he learned he has autism and it’s just his special interest. Now he understands and accepts himself better. And that’s hella attractive.

      Hell yeah tell your husband to keep rocking on.

      Hasn’t he heard? Collecting cards are cool now with a huge community, and bonus points he has an amazing partner who loves his confidence.

      He shouldn’t be embarrassed even if he wasn’t autistic. You don’t need autism as a “free pass” to enjoy any hobby in your life no matter what it is.
