Trainspotting & other special interests

Autistic Not Alien
6 months ago

Choose life. Choose parodies. Choose to make a YouTube video about special interests and why they’re important.[edited by moderator]

I used to think that having a set of intense interests was universal, but apparently not. In the past couple of years, I’ve realised that such interests are especially important for autistic people. Why wouldn’t you want to spend time doing, and thinking about, things you enjoy? But I think having special interests goes beyond mere hedonism – they can be vital for survival in a world not designed for us.

What are your special interests?
