Is it true that there is often a link and that people on the spectrum tend to really like animals? Or is this more of a stereotype? I'm curious because animals are definitely one of my front and center special interests. I've loved animals since I could ever remember, my dad tells me all about how I used to get ridiculously excited if the A&W bear commercial even came on the TV lmao. I feel a strong connection to them, I feel it in my body. I think everything about them is so adorable and fascinating and I can't stand anything bad happening to animals (I hate bad things happening to innocent humans too, don't get me wrong but I tend to be more sensitive to much less desensitized to non-human suffering).
My book shelf is full of animal books, critical animal theory books. I have had animals my whole life, I live in an apartment with a strict no animal policy right now but I snuck in my 4 rats and a hamster because I can't not have animals. I really can't. They calm me down, they make me happy.
I'm obsessed with learning about animals, wild and domestic, and learning about the health and anatomy, behavior, needs, etc of animals, esp mine. I still miss my cat I had growing up and he died 6 years ago, he was my best friend as a kid.
Every time I see any animal, I just want to hug and kiss them and snuggle them and take care of them. I can't even imagine life without animals, they are the best thing about life honestly, haha. I love them so much.
