Ok, so those things are different because you've personally experienced it, but the fact that fandom has a large amount of neurodiverse people in who may in fact be accurately using hyperfixation to describe their experience is invalid... got it.

I didn't say they were using hyperfixation inaccurately. They probably are using it accurately. But they still don't need to use it because "obsession" covers the same meaning.

Superficially they have the same meaning, exactly as shy has the same superficial meaning as socially anxious. However, more accurately, they don't. In exactly the same way as shy is more accurately not the same as socially anxious. "Obsession" and "shy" are both umbrella terms which cover a whole spectrum, the extreme ends of which are "hyperfixation" and "social anxiety". Using the second terms conveys more precision and describes something which the first terms are too broad to do accurately.
