Im posting this here to see if anyone has any solutions or help. I am diagnosed with autism, and I often get embarrassing special interests or hyperfixations.. usually it would be like Miraculous, kids' shows that can also be seen by teens and adults but as of 3 years ago I've gotten really into Go Diego Go.. its the only show I'll watch, and I'll only draw and think about Go Diego Go. But every time I talk to anyone about i fear they're giving the dirty look behind the screen or thinking Im a weirdo in their minds if its in real life. I hate being autistic.

My problem is I get so obsessed that it hurts if I don't talk about it to people, like my brain gets so full that I can't function if I don't share it and I only have one last friend who won't judge me but they're always busy and I can tell they don't really want to hear about it. At the same time if I've yapped about something too much (like my infection au for GDG) it gets TIRING to yap about it further as if I've beat the dead horse into non-existence. It's awful.

Well everytime I get invited to meet new poeple at dinner I will talk about the Donner Party and mention I have the Donner Party Board game in case they want to play it. You know, like a totally normal person would do. So yeah. Also how fucked up is it there is a Donner Pass PICNIC AREA!?

    You can make the Donner Party happen in The Oregon Trail 2 video game! It's quite difficult because usually you hit the pass well before the storm because they sort of sucked. I've managed it once! Was exciting!
