Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Yeah, but I'm responding to a comment that says that neurotypical people aren't curious or passionate about the things they're interested in, and I think that's too narrow of a way to define "interest."
I'd reject that way of thinking because that principle could be weaponized to accuse some neurodivergent people of not caring about people by misreading why they might not be great with social cues or things like that.
That'd be a problem if people were using blanket statements, but that's not how the comment is worded.
If someone said, "Autistic people tend to have strong, specific interests," nobody would be getting insulted. We'd be like, "Yeah, that tracks." Even if somebody autistic lacked that particular trait, the phrase "tend to" allows for exceptions to the statement - it'd be understood that not every autistic individual fits that description, but many often do.
Which is why it's interesting that when an autistic person flips that exact same sentiment around to show what "normal" people look like from their perspective, neurotypicals are taken aback.
