Because 'we exist in a sea of powerful stories'. Stories shape us, move us, and sometimes… they rise from the deep with teeth and scales. 🖤🐟🧟‍♀️

I'm used to computer nerds but I dropped into the Model Train show in Carterton and... so many nerds! #SpecialInterest

You know how a lot of autistic people have special interests? Well, I think my special interest might be special interests, because I just infodumped on my insane variety, depth, and breadth, of interests to my therapist via email, spamming her at least six times with different lists or notes, over the unabridged course of THREE FUCKING HOURS.

I don't need a therapist. I need a branch of science devoted to my study. :floofSad:

Random shot in the dark here, anybody know where a girl can buy a wafer of CVD-grown synthetic diamond without a 1000+ piece alibaba minimum order size?

10mm seed crystals are like single-digit dollars a piece, but I can't buy 5000 of them…

I just want one as a specimen to feel its incredible thermal conductivity with my own hands.

Squeeeee! I get to indulge a hyperfixation while I'm away up north apparently!

Two snail shells lying in grey stones. The one on the left is small, pointy, and pale. The one on the right is also pale, with darker red stripes connecting the swirls of the spiral of the shell.Several colourful snail shells next to an oblong green and red stone.Several colourful snail shells next to an oblong green and red stone.My fingers next to two of the tiniest snails! They're so small and cute and pale against the greeny grey of the stone they're attached to.

I spent a few happy hours getting partway into the info-collation for a blog post. Shaking off the notion of it being weird, silly, etc to be listing ages of an actor and each of his characters as if many people care when I realised how nice it was to have something to focus on. Lately my desire for the house-clearance marathon has stalled, as has art, gaming, you name it. The has its wants and needs.

@melindrea @catswhocode @actuallyautistic This resonates so strongly with me... I love mushrooms (like, #SpecialInterest love) but until I was about 20 I *hated* them. I had an embarrassing incident - dinner with friends - where there were mushrooms in the food. I told them I didn't like mushrooms, but would try to eat it (fighting inner disgust) and managed to do so by leaving the mushrooms on the side of my plate. After that, I made a conscious effort to try them properly - I have a clear memory of going to our local co-op and buying some loose button shrooms, and slicing them thinly, and frying them until they were crispy, and found they were actually really nice. I slowly branched out and tried cooking them in different ways, and eventually found that it's actually *squishy* mushrooms that I don't like. It registers as the flavour that I don't like, but it's certainly the squishiness that's the main feature. When I buy mushrooms, I always check to see how soft they are, and if they're like marshmallows, I reject them!

#AskingAutistics

Do you like the term ‘special interest’?

Or would you prefer it to be called something else, such as ‘preoccupations’ or ‘passions’?
