#i also know that my diagnosised ADHD can explain some of this specific hyperfixation but wouldn't explain my sensory issues so...

Look I'm not going to say getting a 153 on the RAADS R didn't make me think I had autism but the fact that I have multiple spreadsheets/databases that I updated for my special interest and refer back to multiple times a day should have been a major clue.

My most extensive ones are for my yearly reading goals (which I was super ahead in before my focus shifted like ahead enough that even though I haven't read a book in 3 months I'm still 10 books ahead of my goal) and fanfiction but specifically 9-1-1 fanfiction of which I've read 17 million words of in the last 3ish months alone and am apparently keeping up to date with 38 WIPs which I have literally never done so I think my database is working.
