Are Special Interests REALLY That Different From Hyperfixations?

Описание: Are special interests and hyperfixations REALLY that different? 🤔 We're diving deep into the world of neurodivergent fixations to challenge the common definitions and share some personal, relatable stories!

As a late-diagnosed autistic woman whose husband has ADHD, I've seen both sides of the coin. Join me as I explore the proposed similarities and differences between special interests and hyperfixations. Are special interests just hyperfixations seen in an autistic context? Is the label "special interest" actually a form of ableism?

If you are autistic, ADHD, or a loved one looking to better understand a neurodivergent person in your life, this video is for you.
