>A subjective interest in systemization can sometimes turn into what many autistic subjects call “special interests”. Studies show that the vast majority of autistic subjects (between 75 and 95%) have special interests in particular topic areas (Turner-Brown et al., 2011). Special interests take many forms: cataloging objects; identifying linguistic patterns; gaining a proficiency in a particular field like aircrafts or transportation; creative interests like writing or drawing; fascination with the way machines work; or more esoteric topics like cartoon characters or fantasy world construction.[4] Studies show that autistic children have, on average, eight special interests at a time and that these often intersect with one another (Nowell et al., 2020).
>Special interests have been shown to contribute to the development of expertise, rich knowledge and the promotion of learning by motivating children to collect information through books and other sources (Nowel et al., 2020). Other studies show that special interests provide opportunities for social interaction with others with similar interests; generate positive emotions and coping strategies; and induce a sense of pride and general well-being (Mercier et al., 2000; Winter-Messiers et al., 2007; Jordan & Caldwell-Harris, 2012; Koenig & Williams, 2017; Grove et al., 2018). When special interests are implemented in the organization of drive functions and give rise to intellectual satisfaction, we might say that they take form as a systemizing rim.
