Ooh! This is a dangerous question. *cackles maniacally* I could talk for hours about venom. How specialized it is, what we do and do not know yet, what medicines and treatments are being developed from it. I also love all things crafty. I knit, crochet, cross-stitch, needlepoint et ect. I'm always wanting to learn new techniques and their history. Nalbinding is something like 5000 years old!

@NyQuill behavioral neuroscience seems so fascinating to me but idek where to start learning more. I've been wanting to for the past year tho
ā i love making lists, whiteboards, cleaning tiktoks, even hoarding situation cleanups, dangerous/abnormal cleanup environments with the proper gearāanything that ranges from organization to making an engironment safe and sterile and eye-candy pleasing are one of my *biggest* hyperfixations. following in second place are squishmallowsā¦ i impulse spend if iām not too careful and i find them in a walmart! christmas ones started popping up and i may have bought oneā¦ just one, not two luckily. i also love bullet journaling to a rather obsessive point of making sure i update how i do my notes format every few yearsāi also run my own commission service and i *have* to update my website yearly with a new theme or else it feels outdated! its a completely huge obsession. routines are some of my ādonāt tread onā habits and hyperfixationsāas i will not take too kindly unfortunately to someone intercepting on it. šµāš« some more lighthearted hyperfixations: this week is definitely cookie kingdom and stardew valley.
I've really liked the Cars soundtrack lately hahaha. "Real Gone" by Sheryl Crow is a banger

528d
current fixation is the collapse of democracy (in a weird/sad way) and the moomins (in a good way!). though i will admit my fixations are waning, which means a new one is on the horizon lol...

Also languages!!! I'm not good at them, not very knowledgeable, and I hyperfocus on one until ADHD takes me to another so I only know small bits of a few different languages but I LOVE the look of shock and double takes when someone doesn't expect me to speak their native language and I'm able to have a very short conversation with them.. very odd tho because aside from that I'm pretty introverted in person š

@Amelio awwww i love itt
the ocean and water in general !!! idk something about it is just SO COOL
I've been super into baking recently, and I just made my first successful loaf of bread. I want to start making sourdough though the process takes a while. It takes 10 days to make the starter, and the process for even making bread with it is a lot different than the usual yeast-based bread I've only just recently started to make. Though I am still going to be trying soon because I want to be able to make things for the neighborhood, and baking in all forms helps so much with my depression and anxiety. I would show you pictures of the breads I've made if I could, but just know they look absolutely wonderful! I am so proud of them and I'm gonna keep trying different desserts (which I've been doing mostly without a recipe at hand, and it's been super fun to learn that way!)
I have two songs I'm fixated on, And Minecraft :D
Hugging my Squishmallows, playing Webkinz, and watching comfort YouTube videos on repeat :)

551d
I personally enjoy collecting Bop It games, those games from the 90s. They are still making them, and I have one of the most interesting Bop It collections on YouTube. I know the Inventor of Bop It personally, and he said himself that I know more about Bop It than he does. You could call me a superfan if you so desire. It's really stimulating playing Bop It though. Especially if you are autistic or even blind because although one may not be able to see the gadgets on the game unit, a blind person can hear it as an audible cue and sensually touch and feel the game. I feel like Bop It is a great way to connect both autistic people and blond people together in a way.
currently nudibranchs or sea slugs for short , theyāre so adorable !! i really wish i lived near where they are so i could go out and find some - overwatch 2 has been really fun with friends ^^ and iāve fallen back in love with re watching detroit become human play throughs hehe
Currently im playing The Walking Dead (I'm not done no spoilers) and as always any of the zelda games. My general SpIn for shows is adventure time but I've been into Bojack Horseman for a few months now and we've been rewatching that 70s show. I wanna go back to felting which is an old hyperfixation but I'm hoping I can actually make some money from it
Autism itself, webtoons. Autism is kinda the default in my family and I'm the first to connect the dots for everyone haha, explains why they never had me assessed
Music and Community (the TV show) are the ones that are dominant rn for me. I defs have more laying semi-dormant though.
@minime273 Replying to myself. Music, Community (the show), Mythic Quest (also a show), learning/academics, psychology with a focus on ADHD and ASD, and paracord-based crafts are my mains right now I think.
552d

555d
Same thing it's been for the last 8 years lol, minecraft all the way
556d
Cats, roleplaying on this cool app called Amino, cheese and blackberries

Special interests have always been animals and video games, hands down. Some hyperfixations that come and go over the years are anime, reading, knitting, cosplay, sewing, having my own store, coding, learning languages, cooking, and others I probably just can't remember right now. I'm a mess. š„²
@Madisenpai OH and I am currently OBSESSED with organizing/restock/refill/shop with me TikTok compilations I find on YouTube, and watch very specific ASMR to sleep so there's that too
Hyperfixations are currently anime, cleaning, and age regression!
OK THIS IS MY SECOND TIME TRYING TO SAY THIS BECAUSE FOR SOME REASON MY COMMENT GOT TAKEN DOWN!? I didnāt even say anything bad man but ima re word what i said so my special interest is cartoons i love them so much! And rn im hyperfixated on 90s and 00s nicktoons! I especially love catdog, angry beavers, and ren and stimpy!
@Scallop my youngest sibling is currently hyperfixated with retro nick stuff, and currently their favorite show is Rocko's Modern Life. They tell me things I had no clue about and I love it.
My childhood special interest was arthropods (bugs) especially spiders and im still really into them. Im getting out of an intense long term Mountain Goats (the band) special interest and am seemingly moving swiftly on to Dutch infrastructure and cycling culture.

@Sammmmmmmmm I love playing Minecraft but I get burnout to easly with Minecraft so I play a little at a time so I can continue playing. ā¤ļø
My currant hyper fixation is hair and begging my sisters to let me put their hair up so I can try a new hair style I learned.

Oh, I'm awfully hyperfixed on K-pop now. Like, too bad.
@LunrFox I used to love Kpop. What is your favorite Kpop group or artist?
572d
Self improvement and reading
Mine are watching cartoons, playing board games, playing roblox, drawing, dancing, etc.
@camel any cartoons in particular?
currently my biggest special interests are mental illnesses & autism and medications/nootropics/supplements. But special interests from the past still linger - been on-and-off obsessed with tornadoes since I was two years old, for example. And rollercoasters + zombie movies on-and-off since I was about 7. Also I studied maps of my local area very extensively in high school, and despite being way less interested in them now, I still find myself spending hours looking at shopping centers in the most rural areas, the incorporation status of a town, etc. I've always talked too much about whatever my special interest is at the time - even as a kid I can remember knowing that the person I was talking to probably thought it was weird that I only talked about paper airplanes or retro video games.. but it was like a motor was driving me to keep going. I still get the motor thing often (hence this post) but as expected my self control has greatly improved over the years, even since graduating high school.
@Xovil my big one when I was 2 or 3 was the alphabet and number system. That has always been my favorite interest, even at my age now. This may be part of me having autism, but I still draw numbers in the air for stimulation.
@KatGPT interesting, i remember at maybe 3-5yo being obsessed with shapes, particularly parallelograms for some reason, but that only lasted a couple years. what does your obsession with the alphabet involve nowadays? I would think that could only go so far, like my shapes obsession as a kid. But if it has lasted your whole life I'm curious how it has evolved as youve gotten older.
omori , doki doki literature club , roblox (specifically roblox myths and get a snack at 4am) , and warriors
Little shop of horrors/really anything theater tech tbh
The Monkees, and one of my OCs who I've been making a playlist for
Anime manga anything japaneese
Making Spotify playlists, learning new languages, and yoga!
Pokemon. It has been Pokemon for more than 10 years now. That's my special interest anyway. I have hyperfixations, but they normally only last a few weeks to a few months
@Entropyluna pokƩmon has been my brother's main special interest for 25 years haha. I think its appeal to so many autistic people must somehow be linked to the fact that pokƩmon's creator's inspiration for the game was his autistic obsession with bugs. I guess it's because pokƩmon is very category and statistic oriented, which many people including myself can relate most of our autistic obsessions to. Also some autistic people's obsessions mostly revolve around fictional characters and there's a lot of nice little guys in those games.
@Entropyluna Hyperfixations include crochet/knitting, gardening, and generally homesteading behavior.
@Entropyluna mine is crocheting too!!!
I have a lot of different things I've been quickly cycling through, but Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, Bugsnax, and true crime stories are my current ones š„°
