    In general?

    I would say autistic fixations are intense interests, sometimes inappropriate things in the eyes of non autistic people, sometimes maybe just obscure.

    Cool username btw.

        Hm… often a fixation like that tells you you need love in your life or friendship. Is that possible?

          Not sure why downvoted. I’d say if a fixation comes with voluntary self-isolation it shows that something is amiss, although it might not be the lack of love.

          I found that I very much hide inside of my obscure interests when subconsciously talking about important stuff with my loved ones.

            Oh wow. Yes, I didnt think that either. Some people probably felt called out or misunderstood what I meant.

            Obviously, it can be a range of things. I tried to factor in what things are displayed in animes a lot. Often its success, reliable plot, emotion, sexuality, etc.
