Haiii, autistic fedizens!! Hope you all are doing well and if not, wish you strength and perseverance!!

Serious question for you all:

When the topic changes to a special interest and/or interest of high passion, do you usually get excited? And does the excitement even last beyond the topic? :O

I'm striving to understand myself and others better by reading more about personal and shared experiences, so yai!!

@fuzzylinuxuser hey! I hope you're doing well too.
As for your question, yeah... i'm always eager to discuss about something that i'm interested at (there are a bunch of stuff). But when it comes to other stuff, it depends. There are some topics i'm not good at discussing about those, because i can be confusing at times. neocat_googly_woozy

As for myself, I do get excited and have the sudden initiative, along with infodumping!!

But I also get worried when it's with the neurotypicals or those who mask very well that they aren't aware of masking, that my excitement might be overbearing for them and push them away, and it can manifest into an unhealthy, irrational habit of suppressing yourself, ergo ending up masking :V

@getimiskon ahh, makes sense!! And yeah, I've had to learn quite back then that I should hold myself back from engaging in topics I'm not good at discussing about, even if I'm excited, heh!!

@fuzzylinuxuser personally i prefer to listen more than to talk. i prefer listening to others if they have something interesting to talk about.
Also when i discuss with someone, sometimes i tend to digress from a topic.
