Me: "Not every autistic person is obsessed with trains. It's just a stereotype."
Also me: *thinking 24/7 about this gd train*
okay but can we talk about not having friends to play mario party with? it genuinely sucks cuz it's one of my special interests and I don't even have nintendo switch online so that isn't an option either, like what am I supposed to do how do I make more friends without going on friendship apps cuz I have bad experiences with that.
(sorry for venting)

Anyone: Hey (asks about a special interest of mine)? Me: Becomes an unskippable cutscene
I unironically get the zoomies everytime joel and etho interact LMFAO
See, minecraft/mcyt is my special interest (cause autism) and I'm currently hyperfixating on hermitcraft, especially joel and etho (cause adhd)
So seeing joel and etho interact on hc....
My brain literally can't handle the dopamine rush i get when i see those two even MENTION each other. I need to pause the video and just run around my room like a feral animal. If i dont get rid of the excess energy i will simply explode into confetti.
Sorry for infodumping about my special interest out of nowhere, you said a keyword and it activated my unskippable dialogue
The Edmund Fitzgerald sunk 49 years ago today
currently remembering the time in 8th grade when i was a camp councelor and my special interest was brought up as the final answer in a trivia game and i was chosen to give the explanation and infodumped for SO LONG on a STAGE in front of the WHOLE CAMP until i finally looked up and everyone was staring at me and i was like “oh”

YES. ALL. THE. GODDAMN. TIME. WITH THE SAME FANDOMS AND WORDS.
And not just that! Like, for example, whenever I'm watching a movie or whatever and there's blood a part of me just fully expects it to be of a bright pink color and I'm always mildly disappointed when it (obviously) isn't.
Damn you Danganronpa and all of my special interests as well for permanently rewiring my brain!!!
Ever gave common words ruined for you by your special interests? For instance, I can’t hear the word “determination” without thinking about Undertale, and I can’t hear the words “hope” and “despair” without thinking of Danganronpa.
My collection grows
Happy holidays, everyone, and thanks to my family and friends for funding my autism!

(I don’t know if this is just me or if other neurodivergent people experience this but) growing up I was bullied/shamed for having any interests whatsoever so now I’ve just learned to internalize any impulses to infodump. like I really want to talk about all these really interesting things, but like even thinking about telling another person just feels so wrong? and dirty? I don’t really know if this makes sense, but it’s basically unstoppable force (the need to share my hyperfixations) vs immovable object (paralyzing anxiety)
animatronics are one of my special interests and the other day I was at work, and I literally just thought about chuck e. cheese and i got so excited i screamed and flapped. i was so nervous someone saw me, but luckily no one noticed
relationships are so weird sometimes cause like, my friends were discussing how girls are hot and im just over here like “anyone wanna hear me recite stay calm from memory?”
Just Autistic Things...
Being excited about beige food and sitting alone in your room while watching your special interest on youtube for the 50th time this month...ngl I’m excited as heck for it!
Sometimes I get so excited over my special interests that I actually can't handle it and start crying even though I'm happy.
My fandom/special intrest isn't even niche it's just the people who know about it don't wanna talk about it and the people who don't know it also don't wanna talk about it😭😭

1.) Homestuc classpecging

5.) Disorders/disabilities (Mostly cluster b and autism because theyre the most interesting to me.)

Alright, I know April’s almost over but as it is still Autism Acceptance Month, I wanted to talk a little about it. Just wanted to share what being autistic is like for me and some of my special interests.
I was diagnosed with ASD and ADHD when I was 8 years old. Back then, I was technically diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome but that was merged into ASD in 2011 so I’ll just refer to it as ASD. Anyway, I didn’t really know what that meant until I was seventeen and actually did some research. Learning that a bunch of my behaviors and certain feelings I had were actually because I was autistic was…. I don’t know, relieving? Things started to make more sense. Before this point, all I knew was that I didn’t understand social cues and I was very specific about what I liked and disliked. It did not help that I was also on ADHD medication that exacerbated the negative parts of autism. Since that day, I’ve learned so much more about myself and I learn new things about autism everyday. I’m not angry or upset that I’m autistic. I was (and still kinda am) mad at the people who didn’t explain it to me properly when I was younger but that’s beside the point. I’ve learned to accept it and I’m a lot happier because of it. I don’t need people to be aware of me. I just need people to accept me.
Okay, that was a lot. Hmm. Anyway, SPECIAL INTERESTS, LET’S GO!!!! 😃
My primary special interests are manga, anime, and video games. And within those special interests are even MORE special interests. For example, some of the manga I have a huge interest in include Bleach, One Piece, Fullmetal Alchemist and Jujutsu Kaisen. There’s a lot more but there are too many list. On the flip side, the anime I like differs slightly. I don’t always like anime adaptations of manga I like. For example, I really don’t care for either the Bleach or One Piece adaptations (Bleach TYBW is the exception). There are certain scenes from each that I really enjoy watching and they both have great soundtracks and great voice acting in both the original Japanese and the english dubs, but weird choices that differ from the source material and huge pacing issues make them hard for me to watch. On the other hand, there are certain adaptations that I prefer to the source material, such as Demon Slayer or Mob Psycho 100. These two in particular take the original material and enhance it greatly. What’s more, there are certain series where I really like both the original manga and the anime (Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen to name a couple). Also, I love original anime, like Space Dandy, Oddtaxi, Gurren Lagaan, Appare Ranman, and Vivy: Flourite Eyes Song. It’s really cool to see original content in a medium that is primarily adaptations.
Starting a new paragraph for video games. This might be my big special interest. RPGs, Metroidvanias, platformers, action games, puzzle games, party games, etc. I really love video games. Favorite series include but are not limited too: Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Pokémon, and Xenoblade Chronicles. In case you couldn’t tell, I’m a big Nintendo person. If I had to pick a genre, I’d say RPGs are my favorite, whether they are turned based or action oriented. My top three favorite games of all time are Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Kingdom Hearts II. Favorite Pokémon generation is three though Scarlet is my current favorite game. I could go on about how I love different combat and level up systems in different games, how I love that the sidequests in the Xenoblade games add to the worldbuilding and give them so much depth, how I love watching videos analyzing background lore in games like Hollow Knight or Breath of the Wild or videos going into detail about how dark series like Kirby or Splatoon are, or how even though the story is insanely stupid I adore Kingdom Hearts for how sincere it is. But I feel like this has gone a bit longer than I originally intended.
Anyway, a couple of notes really quick about Autism Acceptance Month and autism in general:
Don’t support Autism Speaks. They are a hate group focused on trying to “cure” autism.
Don’t use the puzzle piece when talking about autism. It is ableist. Use either the gold infinity symbol for autism or the rainbow infinity symbol for neurodiversity.
Vaccinations don’t cause autism. Whoever came up with that can burn in hell.
I think that’s everything. If whoever is reading this is autistic, I hope you had a great Autism Acceptance Month.

🤸 Welcome to marine facts with Bagel: part 9
When a bloom of jellyfish get close to the surface, like really close, that's usually a sign of something wrong (usually things like over heating) (idk how to word it) within the waters they inhabite (if that makes sense)

A brine lake (I could be mistaken on the name), are much denser than the regular ocean water due to being higher in salt content, which causes them to be like separate(?) from the rest of the ocean, the only thing is due to the super high salt content creatures that go in it will face consequences, such as death

Mother octopuses will not eat or sleep in order to protect her eggs until they hatch which can take anywhere from 50 days to 7 months depending on the temperature of the water
