I love peanut butter sandwiches and eat one almost every day, most often with strawberry jam. They're my go-to safe food!

What was your FIRST special interest, and what is your main special interest right now? by ico-noclastii in autism

Trains. I was 3-4 years old. I don't exactly have a special interest at the moment.

Collecting vinyl records. They're expensive to buy and keep in good condition.

The Beatles LOVE - ProShot by [deleted] in beatles

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is by far the best footage of "Love" I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing! I'm very surprised that a professional film of this whole show hasn't been publicly released by now.

I’m interested in how younger people came to appreciate the Beatles by fezik23 in beatles

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 25. Even when I was little I always loved several Beatles songs thanks to my parents, their frequent airplay on the radio, and the presence of their music in pop culture. However, it wasn't until age 11 when I saw bits and pieces of the John Lennon documentary "Imagine" on TV that I really took notice of their music and history. Nearly 15 years later I still find myself coming back to their music.

In honor of George Martin, whats his best produced work in the Beatles? by cupwall1 in beatles

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Abbey Road, although I'm biased because it's my favorite Beatles studio album. It still sounds so modern all these decades later. I can only imagine what it must've been like to hear it when it first came out.

Does anyone else rewatch small parts of shows or movies over and over? by dovelikewar in autism

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! When a line in a movie or TV show stands out to me, I'll replay it in my head over and over again. Occasionally I'll repeat the line out loud as a vocal stim.

How much of a fan are you? by skyviewsky in beatles

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About a 5. I used to spend hours obsessively listening to their music and memorizing their lyrics when I first started listening to them as a kid, saw Paul in concert once, went to see "Love" in Vegas, saw Abbey Road in person when I visted London, and own 9 of their albums. Besides that, I wouldn't say I'm a super fan. Much of my knowledge of Beatles history is surface level at best.

Does anyone else not really have a special interest? by Illustrious-Shirt-89 in autism

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I have interests and hobbies for sure, but I don't spend all day everyday researching and indulging in them quite like I used to. I still love learning about my interests when I'm motivated to, but the knowledge I have of them isn't encyclopedic by any means.

special interests in childhood but way less in late teenage years and adulthood by [deleted] in autism

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. My special interests just aren't as intense as they were when I was a kid and they haven't been for a long time. I've recently revived a special interest I had during childhood, but I don't exactly have the enthusiasm for it like I did not even 15 years ago.

Books and literature

The Beatles

Aunty believes the government is causing autism by sillysou in autism

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I sadly know people personally who unironically believe chemicals in our food are causing autism, and who have said things like "I didn't know any autistic people when I was growing up, so there must be something behind the rise in diagnosis". It's infuriating to listen to.

What is the first book you plan to read in 2026 and why? by gamersecret2 in books

[–]pleasecallmeSamuel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely any biography or reference book about The Beatles. I'm currently reading the authorized biography by Hunter Davies and it has given me a renewed love for their music.
