Special interests are a fundamental part of how many neurodivergent people engage with the world, providing joy, structure, and a sense of purpose. Rather than suppressing these passions to fit societal expectations, we can create fulfilling lives by integrating them into our careers, social connections, and daily routines. Embracing special interests without guilt or pressure to monetize them allows us to build meaningful experiences that align with our natural ways of thinking, learning, and expressing ourselves.

Info-dumping is a joyful and meaningful way for neurodivergent people to share their passions, but it is often misunderstood as excessive or socially inappropriate. Rather than being a flaw, info-dumping is a valid form of communication that allows for deep connection, self-expression, and the exchange of valuable knowledge. Embracing and normalizing info-dumping can help create more inclusive spaces where neurodivergent individuals feel heard, respected, and free to engage with the world in a way that feels natural to them.
