Special Interests:
Hyperfixations:
(Note: My special interests come from my autism. They are super mega interests that I have been into for many years. These are things I have learned tons about and continue to learn about every chance I get. I can info dump a lot about these. I often fall into "rabbit holes" for these and be up all night watching/reading about them. These are long term and never go away. They can temporarily take the back burner to current hyperfixations, but I always come back to them. My hyperfixations come from my ADHD. They are similar to my special interests, but these are shorter term and temporary. They often can and will go away and then come back at a later time. They usually last a few weeks to a few months. If they end up being longer than a year nonstop, I start considering them a special interest. Hyperfixations almost always have my attention at the moment. I can also end up infodumping about these. Just because a hyperfixation says it's only been around for a short while, doesn't mean I only just got into that thing. Hyperfixations sometimes come once or twice and then never again, but most of the time they come and go many times.)
