What are you passionate about?

It's very common for Autistic people to be very knowledgable in a particular field or about a very specific thing. So what I wanna know is what that is for people!

For me? It's Star Trek. I freaking love Star Trek. I live and breathe it. I went to a convention this year and it was awesome! I get so excited about it and just love watching it. Whenever I feel low? Watch Star Trek. Whenever I feel great? Watch Star Trek. Whenever I feel whenever? You can bet it's Star Trek time! I like playing a game where whenever I watch something else, I like to see if there's any actor who has ever been in Star Trek. You'd be surprised! I don't know too many people who also like it, so I just talk about it whenever and wherever. Sometimes I like to intentionally ramble on about it because I know it makes people roll their eyes. But sometimes people know how much I like it so they let me go on and on! I like those people!

I'm also pretty knowledgeable about films and TV in general. Even ones I haven't seen. I just seem to absorb trivial knowledge. 

So time for you to geek out about your passions! :D

    I'm passionate about music and sport - but participate in neither. My all-time favourite band are Joy Division. My favourite football teams are Arsenal and Brentford.

    I used to watch The Simpsons religiously. Now, I no longer have a TV. (not even streaming - my internet is too slow anyway)

    I saw Joker back in October. One twisted individual. Slight smile

    I find it too challenging to read due to my anxiety. However, I am interested in books about music. I read Mike Skinner's autobiography.

    I have a savant knowledge of bus and rail timetables in Northern Ireland. As well as the collection times for post in various Post Offices.
