Sometimes I question whether I’m actually autistic because I don’t hyper-fixate on specific topics, but then @RickiTarr starts talking about potatoes and I realize I have SO many thoughts and opinions and I’m like "Oh, there you go, Alice. You're definitely autistic. You just don't have the stereotypical type like train autism—you have potato autism."
@Alice @RickiTarr I mean you can also like trains but in a potato-autism like way. For a long time I didn’t feel worthy due to this.
I skate across topics - infrastructure, politics, organisational structures and modelling, business and management styles, history, systems thinking, ux and interaction design, town planning, and more, connecting them all together. It’s not typical autistic deep special interest. But there is a thread or theme.
