Oh my fucking god, at this point "hyperfixation" has just become a buzzword for you people instead of what it actually is.
(image that's pissed me off)
"When tthe when the hyperfixation!!!" You can be obsessed with a piece of media without hyperfixating btw! Hyperfixating literally means you don't want to/can't do anything else, can't think about anything else, and would prioritise said fixation over your health like sleeping, hygiene, eating, etc!!!!!!!!! JUST SAY ITS A MEDIA OBSESSION!!!! ITS LITERALLY BEING SO OBSESSED WITH SOMETHING THAT YOUD RATHER NEGLECT YOURSELF THAN GO WITHOUT IT!! ITS NOT SILLY QUIRKY!!!!
Neurotypical: Ong when the hyperfixation reaches the (whatever the fuck) stage!!!!! silly carrr, hehherhhr im so overstimulated!!! everyone has a touch of the tism!!!! a lil neurospicy!!!!! ;3333
Autistic people: Literally just call me a fucking slur.
people who talk about having a "hyperfixation" like this would literally look at you like you just shat in front of them and then ate it if you said that you don't brush your teeth/put off going to the toilet/didn't want to shower just so you can continue indulging in your real hyperfixation. (They'd also be the same people to say "you people can't do anything can you?" when you talk about your disability being a disability.)
