Choose life. Choose parodies. Choose to make a RU-vid video about special interests and why they’re important.
I used to think that having a set of intense interests was universal, but apparently not. In the past couple of years, I’ve realised that such interests are especially important for autistic people. Why wouldn’t you want to spend time doing, and thinking about, things you enjoy? But I think having special interests goes beyond mere hedonism - they can be vital for survival in a world not designed for us.

This was a cool video, nice work, cheers. I will sub now, hoorah. PS, I actually did like trains as a kid, but cars (and dogs) was what I collected most facts about. Now I do like going on train rides (but suffer from other users in the same way you said 🤬), but I love train stations more.

Thank you very much for your comments and the sub! I actually love train stations too! One day, I might buy a big 'coffee table book' about train stations and imagine all the meetings and goodbyes that happen in them. When I said I'm not interested in trains, I really meant that I'm not interested in machinery...Trains, cars, motorbikes, etc. Instant turn-off for me! Far more interested in art and people.

Wonderful video ! J'ai beaucoup aimé ton film !!! My special interests are 1: sewing, there are so many techniques I can be learning all the time, 2- a selection of very old video games, 3-mushing (I can't anymore because of health issues), 4-TV series (not all of them), 5-animals and nature, 6-Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler's music, 7-rocks and geology. And I love traveling by train, but not as a special interest. I find it more relaxing than driving.

@@AutisticNotAlien It got wider with age and health. I started sewing and watching more TV series when I had to stop most physical activities, and being without special interests was too depressing.

Have you published any papers on your interest in politics? It would be wonderful to have access to read any.

It's very flattering of you to ask - thank you. I don't have any 'official' papers that have been published, though I can share essays/dissertation by request! Email is autisticnotalien@gmail.com I very occasionally publish my political thoughts on my website: neillaurenson.co.uk/

@@AutisticNotAlien I will make sure to request it. If the way you script your RU-vid videos is a small indicator of your writing, I really would love to read anything political that you spent more time on. I don't think I have read any political writings by an autistic person.

@@AutisticNotAlien It was just ANOTHER thing I thought I WASN'T good at! People watch a movie and JUST REMEMBER IT!!! How!?!!... Like, the NEXT day when eveyones talking about it after we ALL watched together... and I'm clueless!!! No idea what they are talking about!! Just keep nodding... just keep nodding... That was a great video! ANOTHER nuanced piece to my autistic experience! It's only in RETROSPECT that all this makes sense... AND ONLY AFTER YOU BROUGHT IT UP!!! Amazing... Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

14 hours straight? It's an easy trap to fall into. I love a bit of hyperfocus on a project, though we've got to remember to eat and drink and stretch our limbs!

Some Might Say that Little by Little, these videos should go All Around the World and Live Forever. Shame your music interests didn't make you a Rock 'n' Roll Star, but at least you're Married with Children. I'll Slide Away now, and if my attempt at Oasis puns was terrible...then Whatever 👍🏻
