Had a Therion phase. Also Ultra Vomit but it doesn't have the same appeal now that they have become bigger.

I'd say Modded Minecraft, Factorio, Céleste and one I can't advertise because it's NSFW.
The taste of several specific things (cheese that "turned bad", garlic that isn't perfectly fresh), high-pitched sounds, and a few more I don't have in mind.
A few of those items are only redflags if done in a specific way. For example about "non-reciprocal": if you are in a wheelchair and your partner is arachnophobic, it makes sense that you are the only one who takes care about dealing with spiders while your partner is the only one who helps you move around. I recommend that you start consulting this kind of list only when something starts to "not feel right", otherwise you'll poison all your relations before they even start (because there is no such thing as a perfect relationship). Still I'm no relationship expert, so take my advice for what it's worth.
I have something that may or may not be related: some stuff just makes me physically faint. It's never sudden, I see it coming and if I manage to get away from the trigger, lay down and wait it goes away, but if I can't do it quick enough I know it can be dangerous. Among the triggers are intense pain (like burning your stomach by swallowing something too hot) but also conversations about "real" body horror (a movie is fine, but somebody telling me about how their plan to get an operation often isn't, back in middle school I remember fainting as the teacher was talking about some health risk).
Not speaking for all of them but sometimes just feeling good about yourself is enough. You can even tell them how you appreciate their efforts (assuming you do)
Reddit wasn't even always like that: I'd say it progressively went downhill during the last decade. Design choices were progressively made to tailor the most toxic users.
My local roleplaying game club. I'd bet half of them, despite not acknowledging it, are considerably deep on the spectrum. Funny bit: My aesthetic ideals clash with those of one of the guys there: he likes things to be well-ordered in neat piles and I like non-patterns. Doesn't stop us from being good friends.
Not diagnosed (yet) but my reason is mostly so that I can get some money if I am recognized as handicaped. It's not that much: I'd still be considered as poor by most metrics, but I'd take it.
On the waiting line for a diagnosis (I should call them btw), unemployed despite having diplomas. Those last days I am facing a weird puzzle: I have to get analyzed at the lab, which is open from 7:30 to 11 am, and need to be exactly 12h fasting at that moment, but my daily routine involves a big meal at midnight and skipping it would make me well over the 12h fasting duration (and being hungry isn't very fun as you may know). I think I will manage it somehow but currently that's a bummer.
Better: a gal I like a lot is visiting this weekend and it's going to be great. She is one of the only people with whom I am able not to mask.
Also that's a great season for mushrooms. Got a full basket of chicken of the woods last week and still have some left.
I do care. I totally get how you can be charismatic in school despite being autistic, that is perhaps the biggest misconception. I personally think if I had no morals and just wanted to make money my best bet would be running some kind of cult (but that would be wrong ofc).
Not a specialist in physics but I still think I can help with some of this.
About plank length/time: this isn't the "smallest length/time that exists", it's just a limit under which we know our commonly used model for distance and time stops making sense. To help you understand this, think about something such as temperature: you probably have an intuition about it (unless of course you are like me and your perception of temperature is completely screwed up), you can feel that some things are cold and some other are hot, and you are probably able to imagine what would it be like to have something "hotter than this" or "colder than that". From that you can imagine temperature as a property of matter. Now take a blob of gaz (one that is, let's say, at 20°C). Cut it in half: both of the two halves will be at 20°C. Cut it again: still. Imagine an ideal cutting tool, one that lets you cut extremely thinly without adding heat. When you reach chunks of sizes around a few molecules, this notion of temperature stops making sense: temperature simply only makes sense for stuff that is composed of enough small elements that we can't consider each of them individually. To say it differently, if we were able to know precisely the state of all the molecules in a room, then the notion of "temperature of the room" would stop making sense. Distance and time are somehow like that: they work fine for most of the stuff we encounter in our everyday life, but we also know they are not a perfect description of the details of what happens.
