Yeah overall I agree, brain stuff ist complicated and all boxes we draw there are simplifications anyway.

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought of people with more stable and rigid habits/obsessive interests/hyperfixations to be on the more autistic side of the spectrum, and more random/oscillating patterns to be more on the ADHD side.

My hyperfocus period is usually between days and months, where I learn everything about something and then I don't care anymore.

Never had this with food or cooking though. Like, of course there are dishes I love to eat regularly, but there is no dish ever I'd like to eat every day for weeks. I know I'd hate it after week 1 already.

That's basically how I see it.

My one food I could pretty much eat for every meal and always be fine with it and it's rarely go a day without it xD I wouldn't just eat it for every meal because that would be terribly unhealthy.

Otoh, there's lots of things on the list of things I went through a period were I ate daily for a while (months or years .. although many of them I'm pretty sure I got tired of things and continued eating them as part of my habits for a while...)
