#restrictive interests

[nonverbal-redfort]

It is frustrating when my special / restrictive interests prevent me from doing things.

I really want write poetry. But my brain is stuck on the other things.

Writing poetry is getting harder. Words are getting harder to use.

All my brain can focus is Ruby Redfort and B99. I cannot properly care about else.

I want to write more. Stories. Poems. But I cannot.

Autism special interests / restrictive interests is hard. It can make you stuck.

And now I have to wait for library with carer. But I want Ruby Redfort listen now.

having restrictive interests sucks like i can talk about so few things. i can watch youtube videos on anything but it needs to be either the thing im interested in or one of the same youtubers. i can only talk about things if my special interest is involved. i can love people so much but then start crying if they talk about something for too long because it's not my special interest so it gets too overwhelming to listen. if someone stops being hyperfixated on my special interest i immediately think we'll stop being friends anymore because now theres nothing for us to talk about. i literally cannot function or exist as a normal person because if we're not talking about my special interest or hyperfixation (which, depending on the hyperfixation, i need the conversation to be related to my spintrest anyway) i lose interest and could literally cry if the conversation goes on long enough.
