Special Interest/Hyperfocus Corner

I can't seem to find a thread discussing about special interest/hyperfocus, so here it is!

What's a special interest?

Autistic people often have an intense and passionate level of focus on things of interest. Some have suggested that these "fixations" are essentially arbitrary and lacking in any real meaning or context; however, researchers note that special interests typically focus on the mechanical (how things work) as opposed to the psychological (how people work).

What's hyperfocus?

Hyperfocus refers to an intense fixation on an interest or activity for an extended period of time. People who experience hyperfocus often become so engrossed they block out the world around them. Children and adults with ADHD often exhibit hyperfocus when working intently on things that interest them​​​​​​​. (Source)

I get how lonesome it could feel when you have no one to talk your interests to. So I thought why not make a thread where everyone could share and discuss their latest interests?

You may come back to post again in this thread whenever you want!

Prompt Questions:

What have I been into lately?

What makes me interested in them?

How does it affects my emotions, mental health, or daily life?
