Hey just a friendly PSA: you don’t need to have a special interest to be autistic. It's perfectly fine to not have a thing that you've been obsessing over since you were a kid, it doesn't make you any less autistic.

#autism #as a 100% canonically autistic guy I don't really have a long-term special interest either #yes circumscribed interests is a symptom of autism but it's not *required* for autism #you just need to meet 2 of the 4 criteria #my psychologist literally told me that I don't show signs of circumscribed interests and still gave me the autism certificate #so like yeah #don't fret it if you're worried that you're faking being autistic because you don't have a special interest :]
