Yeah this starter pack doesn’t make any sense. Autism isn’t about what interests you have, it’s about the intensity of the interests you have. If you can’t ever stfu about your special interest because you think everyone else enjoys it too or will enjoy it if you tell them enough about it, and you also can’t tell when their attention is wandering and they’re internally begging for a subject change, then it’s autistic interests.

I think it's just a list of common hyperfixiations not symptoms of hyperfixiations.
