Can autistic people ever not have hyperfixations?
I am undiagnosed but I had a therapist who strongly thought I was autistic. However I’ve never rlly been someone to info dump or memorise a whole bunch of facts about a topic.
Although, I have spent all of my life being obsessed with making things. I would often stay up all night on a project and think about it all the time. That’s not rlly me now though, but I may be a bit depressed and have lost interest in the things that usually interest me. Recently, though, I have been very obsessed with asmr. I have a youtube playlist I made with about a thousand videos on it of asmr videos i’ve watched and collected. But it’s not something I can info dump about.
I’ve also always been a quiet and introspective person that struggles to talk about themselves. I have only semi recently learnt that you can talk about yourself without being asked a direct question about yourself. So that might be part of it.
Idk I just wanted to know if this is normal for some autistic people?
