>>The special interest is autistic/hyperfixation is ADHD split is fairly solid.

It's possible I've just been seeing more ADHD-posting and less autism-posting lately. I don't especially seek out ADHD posts, not being ADHD, but there may be an accidental or random fluctuation.

>>(but also that second example you posted I did in fact take to mean the more ADHD style "I have spent the last 48 hours doing as little as possible but think about this shiny new thing I care about a lot" which seems like classic hyperfixation?)

Yeah, that might be it. Mostly that post helped remind me of clearer-cut examples such as the dad one, aided the percolation process.

>>I want that thing, of having a person who is compelling and preoccupying like an interest is! (and, uh, I would quite like someone else to have that thing about me, too, if I'm being selfish).

I wish you luck.
