If that applies to some autist, that’s great. I love representation.
But that’s really specific, and not at all the way any of my hyperfixations have ever worked.. ever. Unless this means finding terribly unsuitable things to learn about and just forcing them on people (which we learn to not do, often early in life which ruins a lot of our personalities….) . But we used to call those people history/sports buffs.
Is this an ableist ideal of hyper fixation? Feels like it to me.
