Left of Normal Episdoe 122 - Fixating on Hyperfixations

We all have some of those little things that we love to get lost in.  For those with autism, however, our reasons can be a little different.

Hyperfixations are short-term dives into topics, activities, or something that can completely distract us from real life.  Fixating on them allows the body and mind to reset and calm down.

Today's episode looks at what they are, how the present themselves, the end result and goal, and how you can encourage those around you who have ASD to use their fixations in a healthy manner.
