Special Interests and Hyperfixations
When it comes to Autism (ASD), one of the most common symptoms is having special interests or hyperfixations. The most commonly portrayed instance of this is with trains, but trains are not the only thing that autistic people tend to fixate on. So, what is a special interest?
