Thinking about how special interests and hyperfixations are not so much an "unhealthy opsession" as they are a means to calm yourself down.
Is it really obsessive to think about your favourite show, movie, subject etc. all day every day and not being able to function properly? Or is it your brain recognising your anxiety from being forced to socialise and being thrown into loud uncomfortable spaces, and creates images in your head, reminding you of the thing you love so that you can calm down.
It's not unhealthy. Your brain is literally fighting to prevent an anxiety attack.
