The best I can tell, yes.
I think it also includes talking about other people and in comparative terms to oneself.
I would say it has to do with obsession with social status and hierarchy.
Obviously this isn't a rule or anything like that.
It's just that it seems that generally ASD/aspie like to talk more about information separate from identity.
Obviously sometimes the information can be directly linked to oneself, as in the conversations here about autism and things we observe about ourselves. I just think the main interest lies in the subject material information rather than what it means to individual identity.
