The problem is, what you think of as obvious may not be to others. I am not diagnosed but have a lot of Asperger's traits. That example of Ann VanderMeer, I would have interpreted as a sarcastic play on a common theme. I mean, if you list the place as something like Hogwart's, then people are probably going to get it, but there are people who will be confused, have to think about it, and then be really annoyed. It's not funny to a lot of us.
