What is your "boring" special interest? I am focused on learning a musical instrument. It's not an obscure special interest, but it is mine at the moment.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.
