One of the most fascinating and empowering traits of many neurodivergent individuals is the ability to hyperfocus—to dive deeply into a topic, hobby, or interest with incredible passion and detail. Whether it’s researching, collecting, building, or creating, these deep dives are more than just hobbies—they’re expressions of curiosity, joy, and identity.

We recently asked our community:

“What’s the thing you can’t stop researching or thinking about right now?”

And the responses were as vibrant and varied as the people who shared them!

🌟 Here’s What You Shared:

💬 Sensory play, and making every sensory tray idea I can find. It’s becoming really expensive. 👀”→ Creativity in action! Sensory play is not only fun but incredibly beneficial for development and regulation.
