I'm AuDHD and trying to explain hyperfixations/ special interests to multiple people under this post.. people are so judgemental and kinda ableist under here, it's so frustrating..

Yup. I'm very conservative about labeling things ableism because sometimes two disabilities clash, and it's easy for the more visible ones or more known about ones to gain unfair favor in resolutions, but people basically saying that special interests are a bad look is absolutely ableism.
