Hi!
What are everybody's special interests?
Mine are:
- KPOP specifically ATEEZ
- Microbiology
- Astronomy and Space
- History specifically World War 2, American West, October 1917 Russian Revolution, Germany from 1918-1939, Medicine Through Time
- Shackleton's Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition
- Medicine but my interest area is Oncology
Special interests over the years:
Does anyone else go through cycles with their interests? Some I have intense interest for years and then it feels like I'm done with that particular interest forever, others are consistent, and others I can leave for years and then go back to them. The reason I know they are a special interest and not just a curiosity is because they bring me intense joy and I have an urge to share what I know about them with other people (but I don't because I've learned that people think I'm weird if I do that).
I forgot music special interests/stims
I identify all of these artists as autistic/synesthetic in hindsight.
Know it and love it. There's something about the more simple music and the kinda silly rhymes on that album that's so amazing to me.
Seeing that I feel like I've gotta do a YouTube dive on her tomorrow. I love watching people play music and I realise I've probably never watched her play before despite listening for so many hours.
I love that we share this!
Do you know the Sprout and the Bean?

Joanna Newsom is amazing, especially the first two albums. When things are really hard and I can't deal with stuff Clam Crab Cockle Cowrie is one of my favourite songs to help me feel more okay.
