Us "neurotypicals" usually calls those "hobbies". Mine would be movies, concerts and theatres.
Edit: I like software and computer games too.

I like turtles
are you one of those people who gets upset at terms like "neurotypical" and "cisgender"
neurotypical
We don't do that here
Bold of you to assume there's anyone neurotypical on here
Error 404 Neurotypical Fediverse User Not Found.
(Also, that wouldn't be a hyperfixation)
I’d say neurotypicals tend to be hyperfixated on social status
Y'all really love dehumanizing yourselves
?
Anyone can have hobbies and enjoy things, even silly, obscure, or weird things. It's not a "hyperfixation" if someone with some stupid disorder label on them enjoys it.
Regardless of how stupid or silly the thing is, there are more neurotypical people very invested in it more than everyone else.
Liking things is human, not some symptom of some stupid fucking disorder. Eradicate "hyperfixation" and "special interest". Humanity is a fucking spectrum, no you can't be more dIfFeReNt than everyone else, you're not fucking special, stop fucking contributing to the abuse, division, and othering of humans.
For fucks sake have you seen a Sanrio fan, Disney fan, superhero comic fan, or a sports fan? People with hundreds of Funko Pops of entire sports teams and movie characters? Yeah, neurotypicals who like stuff. But god forbid that person has a stupid disorder label on them, then at best society views them as a puppet controlled by their disorder, or at worst they're abused into killing themselves, for being a human being who enjoyed things.
Something tells me you had a real childhood where you went through real school and grew up as a normal child who made fun of short bus kids, then did some stupid online test popularized on TikTok, and now you reduce yourself to a disorder for clout. Then you spread harmful stereotypes that set disability rights back several decades, up to when they were left to die.
Do you fucking realize that you're literally doing the equivalent of being a Jewish person born 18 years ago, broadcasting that Hitler was right, that you control the media and banks and you're the reason why everyone else is poor?
You, all those TikTok disorder fakers, and adults who didn't live their childhoods on the wrong side of life, are why several lives get ruined beyond repair. The "therapists" will see your stupid posts about how making furry characters and enjoying Sonic games are exclusively symptoms of autism, and abuse an otherwise independent child into a zombie. Literally the equivalent of using chemotherapy on a mosquito bite.
Hobbies and interests are not disorders. Stop implying that crap, you're ruining lives.
Sincerely, someone who lost 20 years I'll never get back, for endlessly creating characters and wanting to make games as a 6 year old.
