Focused Interests, Identity, and Autistic Communication Across Contexts

This workshop explores how autistic people engage with and express focused interests across diverse communicative settings. Previously framed narrowly as “special interests,” these intense areas of engagement are central to autistic sense-making, self-expression, and social interaction. Bringing together discourse, narrative, and interactional approaches, the sessions will examine how focused interests shape the stories autistic individuals tell, the way knowledge is shared, and connections are formed, both online and offline.
