Some are calmer and it's just something that pulls me closer to certain things. But I love some special interests so much that when anything even remotely related to it is mentioned, the excitement breaks the scale and turns into physical pain. Full body reaction, discomfort with vague pain in my chest. So filled with joy that I burst and it turns into misery again. But special interests give my life a meaning and were almost always the reason why I chose not to kms.
My special interests feel like they are studying themselves on their own while things that don't interest me are sometimes impossible to study. Often when I'm researching a SI, questions start spawning in my mind and they spiral to the point where finding the answer becomes impossible and I become frustrated. It's like I'm trying to zoom in to an infinitely small point that I know I'll never get to, but it still hurts.
autistic people: what does having a special interest feel like to you?
(and if u want to say, what is your current special interest?)

Catholicism storytime
Ok so I am baptised catholic but in no other way raised towards christianity, I didn't go through first communion. But when I was a teenager I was at the first communion of my younger cousin. So I'm at the church, I shake hands or whatever and then it is time for everyone to receive communion, which of course was not something for me to partake in. But as I was between the benches where there was no room for people to go around me, I moved to the aisle to let them go. But I found myself in the middle of the crowd, all walking towards the priest. I was trying to be polite so I really didn't want to force myself the other way through everyone, so I just went with the crowd, looking around, trying to find a place to escape but I couldn't find any. So as the crowd was pushing me closer, I accepted my fate. But I didn't know how does one receive communion, so I observed the facial muscles of the people before me and decided that they were just saying Amen. And then, I am the one standing before the priest, he says his thing, I say amen and receive the communion. I return to my family and they are wide eyes open at me and they laughed a little.
I really want to know what does the catholic church think of this situation, never had a formal first communion, never confessed, never goes to church, does not believe... Does this count as just an unceremonial first communion? Or like what now am I going to superhell or what lol
