Special interest

To do what you love and to love what you do. That is a wonderful position to be in. While you can of course have other interests, the fact that you love what you do can easily be enough. Can you not prepare lessons at home or as you say, when you fall asleep and imagine things you might do in the classroom, can this not be an extension of what you love to do?

Perhaps the issue is that you're imagining that it ought to be different in some way. That you should have external interests or obsessions because you've read that many autistics do. But as has been said, you are unique, and you do it the way you do it. That's good enough. :)
