How do your speical interests help you

190E(Taylor’s version)

So how do each of your speical interests benefit you other than just relax ist ion 

trains help me with congnitive function as it’s remembering things also the sounds and timetables help wirh the patterns I crave same wirh buses 

The circus stops me becoming depressed an issue I have suffered with for too long 

music helps me deregulate

taylor swift let’s me relax in a fro state and give me a huge way to do vocal stim a and an gives me a joyful outlet and if I’m feeling down it never fails to make me happy 

for 2 years(when I first got inro Taylor) I tried to not admit it(becuase I was masking in a very bad way) but since I’ve been more open about it ive realised over this time it’s been a speical interest as I watched hundreds of hours of tour videos and yt swiftie vids and this was last year before I would open admit to liking her music(I know it’s stupid but before you kknow  autistic you don’t realise how much you’ve been condtioned a certain way so you unintentionally mask on auto pilot)

So even though it feels like a new speical interest it kind of predates my circus one haha which is a big one for me I have list of favoured acts clowns tents even down to who has the best music and why haha 

laurel and hardy(and comedy in gerneral speical comedies duos) are good for echolalia outlets and also stop depression too

  • My special interests support me in many ways beyond relaxation. Trains and buses strengthen my memory, pattern recognition, and cognitive function through timetables and sounds. The circus helps protect my mental health by keeping depression at bay, while comedy duos like Laurel and Hardy give me joyful echolalia outlets. Music, especially Taylor Swift, helps me regulate emotions, stim vocally, and feel genuine happiness. Even though I masked my love for her at first, embracing it openly has been freeing. Altogether, my interests give me structure, joy, and emotional balance in daily life.

    Do you want me to make this sound more personal and casual (like your original tone) or more polished (like something you’d share in a formal setting)?
