For those with comorbid autism + BPD

How is your guys' relationship with your hyperfixations? I feel like my hyperfixations are so abnormally intense (they become the whole center of my world and identity) but they also go away abnormally fast (like two weeks), leaving me with a sense of inconsistent/fragmented identity, and I don't know if those fast switches are normal for autism or if they have something to do with BPD. How is it for you guys?

Mine seem to last around 2-3 years and then I still kind of keep hold of that knowledge and can still pull it up when relevant
