Thank you to fallopianrhapsody and danialexis for replying to my post <3

I've come to realise that the reason I've found it so hard to understand special interests is that I'd been struggling to imagine how they work in practice compared to my own experience of things I'm "interested" in. Basically, I was treating my own "interests" as if they were definitely neurotypical, and then comparing them to special interests and seeing no/little difference.

You don’t mention it, but I find my English major far more useful than my poli sci minor in advocacy. Learning to argue well is so useful.

I’m giving serious thought to a thesis on postmodern retellings of Robin Hood - so, basically, nothing before 1970. I got into grad school professing an interest in 21st century lit and there are only 13 years of it so far!
