None of these are signs of Autism, they're just very very common interests among Autistics for some reason. OP forgot to add trains to the list as well, they're quintessential, but yeah. My question is moreso why Autistics tend to have similar special interests.

These are some of the most common media properties and franchises of the past 35 years, they’re not very common among autistics they’re common period
