Could we say that social interaction and gossip is a special interest of neurotypical people?

Not sure but you may want to fix the spelling  of  it-nerest in the title.

Maths person here, not trained in Psych. stuff.    I've just done a brief survey of "special interest" as applied to individuals with Autism on the internet.  Do you want comment by an untrained layman?

   Also, I'm only here because of the unusual situation at the moment.  Covid-19 lockdowns forcing discussion onto the internet etc. If you're doing research on internet forums beware of biased data at the moment.

Many use such a way of thinking simply  in order to suppress freedom of speech . . .. . . .
