Collecting is an instinct, like your instinct to fuck, only now we are served substitutes and collect memories or fuck internet porn. There's no difference between the 'autistic' and the 'non-autistic' guy, i.e. it doesn't matter if you collect video games or vinyl, travels or money. It only becomes a collection, when you start questioning it. Prior to that, it's just satisfying the primordial parts of your brain. Like with any other aspects of life.
caching and collecting are not the same. and there's not really any evidence that humans have an instinct to create caches
1 item can absolutely be a collection.
