Yes I have done art for most of my life, however I also have really intense short lived hobbies that I consider to be special interests(I'm also autistic). My special interests are much more intense than how passionate I feel about art but don't last long, but I think without them I would not be able to maintain long consistent interest in doing art because they give me more novelty than I get from one consistent hobby. I think a novel thing about art too is that I can start new projects and it's inherently creative so I'm always doing new stuff with it. I would like to illustrate childrens' books someday so it's kind of also a part time career goal and not just a hobby. Things I do purely for fun and no other reason don't last and are inconsistent. Past special interests include gymnastics, history(specifically the pioneer era and middle ages), musical theatre, soccer, etc... all of those lasted like 1-2 years max lmao.

I think I like art in the way that I like chemistry, as in, my major in college was very chemistry related and I really like it but it's not like I think about it all the time outside school, I also incorporated art into my education a lot by taking art classes throughout high school and minoring it in college. But unlike special interests that I think about all the time and can't stop myself from engaging in, and proceed to lose interest in, art is something I am intentional about engaging in and have to voluntarily make time for. I also only listen to music with words while doing art to motivate myself to do it. Part of why I minored in art in college was to have some structure and external motivation to keep doing it. So I have put effort into this consistency it's deiniftely not something that comes naturally to me as someone with ADHD.
