An autistic person who has finally learned the names of all the current A listers, heard all the recent pop hits and binge watched the most popular TV shows has been left devastated after their research was made redundant by the passage of time.

Avery Mann, 28, spent the entire year studying the zeitgeist, before it immediately changed completely.

Mann said: “I’ve finally finished Tortured Poets Department. That alone took half the summer. I’m actually completely in the know about what’s popu… Chappell who????”

“Wasn’t Geek Girl great?” They continued, changing tack. “Wait, what do you mean there’s more Bridgerton? For fuck’s actual sake!”

Mann’s flatmate, Krista Shure, said: “They’re in their room watching the second half of Bridgerton now. We don’t have the heart to tell them about Emily in Paris.”
