Special Interests - they’re just interests

Geeky Gothic Guy

Probably gonna annoy a few people with this but I’m just irritated with reading the term “special” interests. They’re just interests. Why is there the need to have the word special? Not once have I ever referred to my interests as “special” They’re just my interests. By referring to interests as special, just seems like there’s this need to feel, well, special.

    However, I would concede they are my "intense" interests.

    I would also accept that I may pursue my interests to a greater degree and on a more enduring basis than most of the hobbies / pastimes of the neurotypical people I know.
