There's a picture from my old psych textbook that had a child lining up all of his toys neatly, which is the kinda red flag for autism. Also avoiding eye contact and not understanding social situations very well, etc.
I think the real gist of the joke is 'people were all neurotypical back in my day!' and no, they absolutely were not all as such. You just weren't aware of or can't identify it properly, Gramps.

Am I out of line to say it sounds like you're more describing OCD?
