"special interests" does not necessarily (and usually doesn't) mean that one has an encyclopedic knowledge of a subject.
using this as a defining characteristic of autism leads to much imposter syndrome in people and is gatekeepy.
interests look different in every. single. person.

Neurodivergence isn’t a glitch.
It’s part of human variation like being left handed or having a different accent. Different doesn’t mean less.

I'm currently obsessing over the Triumph Tiger 900 gt as my next mid-weight tourer.
Are there any owners on BlueSky who would like to wade in and help me decide?

Many disabled people can’t “shop local”
We’re housebound and often bedbound.
We lack disposable income.
We have huge medical and caretaking expenses that wipe out discretionary spending.
Instead of shaming us, help us. Take us to the store. Donate to mutual aid. Shop for us.

Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve.
Exactly what Netanyahu wanted.
