So many of my #autistic and #adhd students are ashamed of their special interests, which breaks my heart. They're too young to see that *engaging in things you're passionate about* is difficult for most NT people. It's a life skill NTs must learn.
Most NTs I know have to work hard to find a deep passion for something. Not that they can't, of course, but that the social pressures around them discourage it. They struggle to disentangle from those pressures enough to be themselves.
