Honestly as an autistic person, I consider my "special interest" to be more of a "fixation" than an "obsession" > I used to be a bit unhealthy about them when I was a kid, but now I just treat my "special interests" as a rather fixed interest that I like learning all about.

I cannot see how having a particular interest I dedicate myself to learning all about is "unhealthy", especially if I do other things with my life in the other times.

However it's important to not whitewash the symptoms of a disorder. It bothers me when people get mad about the idea that mental disorders are anything but quirky and unique. Symptoms do cause people pain, and if you come in and tell them "nooo you can't dislike that trait or consider it bad, that's ableist" they'll be rather mad at you.

That can be ableist in it's own way because it is tantamount to telling them "this is how you should feel about this thing you have".
