Does everyone on the autism spectrum have to have a special interest?

[Anonymous]

Because I noticed many do, but I don’t seem to have one. I just have passions, like neurotypicals.

No, you just hear about those much more often as its more news worthy to talk about someone who excells in their isolated field of interest.

No, it makes it more likely for them to because of the hyperfocus that comes with it

[petitedollbabee]

No, you can still be autistic without a special interest.

No, you're probably just fully ignorant, is all.

[Asker]
