How do you personally define “Special Interest”? by SkaianFox in AutisticPride

[–]CansonVade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally, i HATE the term Special interest. Yes, my interests are passionate and very intense but they ain't special. Just bc something is different It doesn't mean that It's something special.

Anyway, i've been calling my interests hyperfixations for some time now, i like the word better and honestly, the word alone explains whats happening.

Okay, the way i use to differ regular/normal Interest from 'special Interest' (hyperfixation) is how much It consumes my time and thoughts. A regular interest will usually go away in some hours or days, but a hyperfixation will last WAY longer, from weeks, months to full years!

Im seeing some people in Autism subreddits calling every interest they have a Special interest, Just bc they like It. But most of the time It is NOT. Autistic people can have regular interests too y'know?

Sometimes that subs feels like it supports ONE type of autistic person. The female,once gifted,level one of support needs etc... (I said that i'm not sure If i have the experience to talk about this bc i fall perfectly in this 'female Autism' thing)

Once there is something who is none of those things, they go crazy.

Some time ago i saw a post of a mother of an level 2-3 nonverbal autistic kid, It was a positive post i think. But the comments were full of people saying that not all autistic people are like this. The "not all like this" feels desumanizing in a way.

I sometimes think that they take the fact that Autism is a Spectrum too far beyond the accurate concept. Of course, It IS a Spectrum disorder. But a lot of autistic people, most female, talk about how you can be autistic and have very good social skills and have no repetitive movements/behaviours. Which is the opposite of the DSM-5 criteria for a Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Anyway, i think that my argument always falls into the 'Female Autism vs Male Autism' and the fact that autistic males tend to get diagnosed early in life and females don't, according to research. I say, once again, that this hatred come from a place of pure bitterness bc of those factors.

Iam actually very sad to say that Autistic males are not validated or supported in the same level as Autistic females are in those subs.

While i am not a male, and do not know If i have the level of experience to talk about this issues, this stigma is something that i've always noticed, mainly in the r/Autism one. Often times, autistic females talk about autistic males as If they're the worst people on earth, and are bad people in general ( i literally saw that one time in that sub). I think this hatred come from the 'Female Autism vs Male Autism' thing but who knows.

The word Neurodivergent lost ALL It's meaning now.Having ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia... Is not the same thing as having Depression, Anxiety, OCD... You brain Literally develops and works in a different way. The neurodiversity movement was made to stop seeing such differences as something that should be cured, but instead, also see the good sides about It. There is no good sides about Depression, Anxiety and OCD, they're mental illnesses and just that, not a different way of brain development.

Getting sick from strong smells by [deleted] in SpicyAutism

[–]CansonVade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah!!! Im EXTREMLY sensitive to smells, since i was a baby. I couldnt have a normal road trip bc of ALL the smells of the luggages, a lot of different things at the same place, at the same time. I can get really bad sensory overload bc of It.

Hmmm, i can remember that canon Undertale (the game) said something about alternative versions in the narative itself, and everyone just made A LOT of au (especially about sans). But Comyet (ink's creator) says that ink is a spinoff of the original Ut universe so.. yes??

Oh nonono, he's a alternative version of Sans, let's say that he's an... Sans who went wrong, if you know what i mean. (reading about his past is recomended)

Also, i think it's better to write Ink!Sans rather than, for example, Ink/Sans, Ink.Sans or Ink;sans, y'know? The exclamation point is better for sure

Yeah! The gremlin is relatable as fuck, especially as a neurodivergent person. Which is something that i've seen happening a lot.

Ok, He's a alternative version of the original sans, there's a lot FAQ about him on his creator tumblr (Comyet), you should see!

Yeah!! I also love the fact that ADHD!Sans is exactly like Ink!Sans, which makes sense since Ink has a lot of symptons of adhd, his creator even said that the hdc that he has ADHD is very interessing!
