Autistic people, did your special interest exist prior to the year 1800? If not, what would be the closest thing to it?

By exist, I mean something you’d be able to study. For example, dinosaurs existed well before 1800 but that doesn’t mean there was a good way for the layman to learn about them.

It's mostly tech related stuff, although not consistent enough to get ant sort of tangible benefit out of it.

I'd likely be working as a blacksmith, or doing hr/getting carpal tunnel writing in spreadsheets for some company, while having blacksmithing as a hobby.
