Re: A prevalence of people on the autistic spectrum
I think what all of us here have in common is that we all have a thing for balloons, beyond what is generally considered "socially acceptable". There are balloon decorators that enjoy the visual aesthetic of balloons - and, for some, it may even be part of their job. Once you say you like to touch or smell balloons, though - then that might go beyond what society considers to be acceptable. Maybe we, as a society, need to get over this idea that it's "wrong" for adults to like "kid things".
At any rate, I'm not here to judge anyone. I may not quite understand the appeal of popping balloons, but to each their own. That's how I see it.
