In general?
I would say autistic fixations are intense interests, sometimes inappropriate things in the eyes of non autistic people, sometimes maybe just obscure.
Cool username btw.
Hm… often a fixation like that tells you you need love in your life or friendship. Is that possible?
Not sure why downvoted. I'd say if a fixation comes with voluntary self-isolation it shows that something is amiss, although it might not be the lack of love.
I found that I very much hide inside of my obscure interests when subconsciously talking about important stuff with my loved ones.
Oh wow. Yes, I didnt think that either. Some people probably felt called out or misunderstood what I meant.
Obviously, it can be a range of things. I tried to factor in what things are displayed in animes a lot. Often its success, reliable plot, emotion, sexuality, etc.
For me it's a topic I get obsessed about for a few days or weeks then switch to something else.
Usually I spend my time just reading the wiki of my current interest, and I think it helps with stress?
It’s like a special interest that you memorize loads of data about. For me it’s fish and aquariums… I fucking love aquariums

A fixation is something I am eager to interact with it a majority of the time, often to the exclusion of other stuff I need or want.
