I wish it was socially acceptable to interest-dump someone and for them to do the same to you.
Just getting a 5-10 minute lecture deep into a topic that someone is passionate about is fun and educational! Much better than trying to make small talk or talk about the 3 common topics at your workplace (at mine it is local tv, energy spending/taxes, and cars), which is often sports. Then you get to learn about other people’s interests too!
Yeah, it’s hard having ADHD and not be able to be enthusiastic about stuff without people thinking you’re weird. I don’t want to talk about boring shit you’re “supposed to” talk about.

Oh I love to ask that as a conversation starter. One time someone got me so hooked into crabfication I presented a whole seminar about it at uni.
I absolutely love when people at work do this, you can tell how passionate they are about it and it’s fun to listen to
