Is it only autists that have collections

Lots of people collect stuff, apart from dust it's not something I really do and I don't collect dust on purpose. But having seen the range and variety of stuff people collect are they all autistics? There was one guy on gardeners world last night who had over 4,000 pitcher plants and breeds aloes.

Is it only autists who collect stuff, does anyone know any NT's who are collectors?

  • I am reminded of the opening line in one of David Sedaris' books.

    Regarding his partner's Owl collection:

    "There comes a time in every man's life that he must do something about the owls."
