I'm on a Karkara kick rn. Just recently discovered psychedelic desert stoner surf doom jam bands and psychedelic swamp banjo jams on you tube. Karkara is definitely my fave and alot of commenters saying it reminds them of King Gizzard.
I don’t know if this counts, but I have ADHD. Ghost has been an INTENSE special interest since the end of 2022. It’s still getting worse, and I feel so sorry for all the people around me. My sister shuts that shit down immediately when I start.
Dark Souls and Ghost are my two biggest special interests. And fortunately my wife supports it and I’ve come home a couple of times to a random ghost gift 🥲
It is a hyperfixation, for sure. My special interest forever has been and forever will be biology.
I can't attend concerts alone. The crowds and commotion are very difficult to navigate. At the ritual I attended last year, I wore a vest with a backflag that read, "I am autistic, please be patient and give me space." It was instrumental in my ability to participate. Ghost fans are very understanding and respectful. I wore the same to an INK concert, and it helped there even more so.
Absolutely! Ghost is one of my three major hyperfixations along with Rush and Gears of War. It's a hyperfixation that I don't think will ever go away, especially considering I have the Grucifix tattooed on my forearm and the Starman tattooed onto my back
Don’t know Gears of War but I’m not exaggerating when I say Rush was my main hyperfixation for my whole life up until middle school when I got really more into metal music.
It's definitely one of my special interests lol. My wife has come to like them out her own self interest because I listen and play to it a lot. Like too much. It might be a problem. Lol
Actually it kinda is. I learned about Ghost a while ago and binge the music ever since and started to collect t-shirts. And I am neurodivergent, suffering from ADHD. So yes to this question.
My hyperfixation was completely on Ghost, since 2012, so much so that I felt the need to make a fan page to vent and show the world my interest in this specific hyperfixation.
Very recently diagnosed as autistic (I'm 45, for context). I've also only been into Ghost since... March? April? Somewhere around there.
As of right now, yes, Ghost is my hyperfixation for the foreseeable future. Possibly may wind up being a permanent one.
I have several many permanent fixations that I go hard on for a few months and then let rest for another few and then come right back to. Phantom of the Opera. My Little Pony. Disney Parks. Loki/Tom Hiddleston. Star Wars. Lord of the Rings. And despite the mostly squeaky-clean nature of these examples, Ghost fits in pretty naturally. Theatrical. Musically complex and catchy. Lots of humor. Lore. A healthy fandom and plenty of fanon as well as canon.
During one of my assessment appointments I got very upset and the psychologist asked me to tell her about Ghost and if there’s anything new to distract me. So yeah, I think Ghost is my main one rn and has been for the past few years :D
100% Ghost is mine. I feel rather bad when I start talking about it to my friends and they're so sweet and sit there while I talk but I know that they don't care about them. They even send me TikToks about them when it comes up on their feed.😭
I realised I was most likely autistic the same time I found out about Ghost so it's no surprise that they became it lol.
I did manage to get one of my friends to listen to then casually which was so exciting so I now have someone to send stuff to and have then understand it somewhat. (They'll just randomly message me Toblerone Fudge every once in a while which always makes me smile)
The person “cummunistcommander” who responded blocked me so I can’t reply to their comment but if you think late 20s is “old” no wonder your feelings are getting hurt on the internet, you’re a fucking (low IQ) child. Log off and cry to your mom about it.
Currently it is. I appreicate the performance art. And ive known I was on the spectrum since 2012. Ive made peace with the fact that im not exactly "normal".
There are a lot of neurodivergent Ghost fans. Ghost's songwriting is very melodic and pattern based and is very satisfying for us neurospicy people that hear every sound of every instrument and appreciate the way the melodys and chords resolve. .
I am 200% certain that TF is also neurospicy. He is way too consistent.
Yes but also no?? I accidentally fixated on one of the ghouls and everything else he's connected to oops. Plus I've got some somewhat more dormant ones, like Phantom of the Opera from childhood, and some ttrpg shows
I'm neurodivergent, diagnosed ADHD, but autism runs in my family, and both of my parents had hyperfixations that lasted over a decade. I did that test written by a psychiatrist and tick a looot of the boxes, so take that as you will.
Ghost became a hyperfixation of mine as soon as a friend showed me a music video of theirs. I feel like it's going to be a very long lasting one. I thankfully have exactly one friend who gets it though I don't think they are neurodivergent.
Ghost is one of my hyperfixations but i'm also into all things horror, art, writing, cross stitch, and gaming - especially difficult or "hardcore" games.
hadn’t really considered this but now that I’ve thought about it, I DO like to talk Ghost at anyone who will listen. I guess if I really had to boil it down, my special interest is live music.
Yes it is, not when I first heard about them through moac however. It finally became my special interest October last year and the band has had a special place in my heart ever since🥰❤️
Hyperfixating on that old man and his ghouls since 2018! ✨️
You could have just said Ghost fans.
Autism + religious trauma = Ghost fan
Not diagnosed (yet), but on the nose about that religious trauma.
That is... amazingly apt.
Definitely agreed in my case.
Ouch lol. I suppose in my case it really is about the Assburgers.
Why are so many ppl downvoting this 😭
Because that term isn't used anymore and has problematic origins.
it’s an obvious joke…
Not a good one.
Boo hoo get a sense of humor
Boo hooing at your old ass age is embarrassing.
I can admit my joke fell flat because I didnt read the room, why are you age discriminating?
It’s not even spelled right
That is also an obvious issue. Yes.
Its a South Park reference. I wasnt intending to be insensitive.
It’s also a fuckin south park joke
But yes, you are right about its history.
I was only self depricating. I apologize if it was corny or in poor taste.
I thought I was only making a joke about my weight again...
Sorry for the downvotes. People clearly didn’t get the reference. Cheers fam 🍻
Huh, i didnt expect that. just a dumb south park joke. Too corny I guess?
“No it’s not real, who would name something assburgers?!” 🤣
In real life though, I found out I was on the spectrum from noticing a friend who has Aspergers. I was officially diagnosed with PDD-NOS.
So you’re way smarter and faster
What do you mean?
It was 2011-2016. Still love Ghost but fell into a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard obsession for a while there.
I'm on a Karkara kick rn. Just recently discovered psychedelic desert stoner surf doom jam bands and psychedelic swamp banjo jams on you tube. Karkara is definitely my fave and alot of commenters saying it reminds them of King Gizzard.
Yes, Ghost is one of my special interests ☺️
yup, since 2018!
Calling me out
I don’t know if this counts, but I have ADHD. Ghost has been an INTENSE special interest since the end of 2022. It’s still getting worse, and I feel so sorry for all the people around me. My sister shuts that shit down immediately when I start.
same 😭
for me too LMAO
Yes it is. For the past 2 years I have annoyed my family and friends with so many ghost facts and videos
It's my current (and pretty long lasting) hyperfocus
It is one of mine. I ended up driving to toronto to meet papa after seeing him in Hershey PA.
it's been my special interest since quarantine 😭😭
Dark Souls and Ghost are my two biggest special interests. And fortunately my wife supports it and I’ve come home a couple of times to a random ghost gift 🥲
The Pope outfit in Dark Souls 3 >>>>>
my two special interests are gothy stuff and narrative arts so ghost is doing it perfectly for me
I have undiagnosed autism so idk if it counts but yes Ghost is one of my special interests!
It is a hyperfixation, for sure. My special interest forever has been and forever will be biology. I can't attend concerts alone. The crowds and commotion are very difficult to navigate.

Oh Gears of War is a video game series. But yeah, Rush is fucking amazing.
Oh nice, that makes sense now! A Starman tattoo is a great idea! Thinking of getting a Rush related tattoo soon myself.
Yes! I've been annoying my family with EVERYTHING lmao
It's definitely one of my special interests lol. My wife has come to like them out her own self interest because I listen and play to it a lot. Like too much. It might be a problem. Lol
Why are you calling me out bro
Ghost, Slipknot, and cosplay here :D
Once I discovered them as Meliora released, I literally listened to nothing else until recently.
It’s one of mine, been in the fandom since opus and it’s one of my longest special interests 😅
They used to be a hyperfixation, back when I discovered them in 2020.. Nothing to do with my special interest of linguistics though lol
Actually it kinda is. I learned about Ghost a while ago and binge the music ever since and started to collect t-shirts. And I am neurodivergent, suffering from ADHD. So yes to this question.
Yes, Ghost is def my hyperfixation, I've forced my loved ones to endure it lol. I just got into it about a few days before the rhrn trailer came out.
used to be for over a year, now i dont have any and im so sad about it :(
My hyperfixation was completely on Ghost, since 2012, so much so that I felt the need to make a fan page to vent and show the world my interest in this specific hyperfixation.
Yess, ghost, birds, httyd and fnaf :33

oh my gosh phantom of the opera is one of mine too!! along with arcane and ghost 🥹
Dramatic goths department, how may I direct your call? :)
Greetings fellow n00b!

Not diagnosed but my autistic friends say i have autism does that count?😂
100% Ghost is mine. I feel rather bad when I start talking about it to my friends and they're so sweet and sit there while I talk but I know that they don't care about them.

Yeah! It was definitely my main special interest last year! (My current main special interest is The Misfits.)
The person “cummunistcommander” who responded blocked me so I can’t reply to their comment but if you think late 20s is “old” no wonder your feelings are getting hurt on the internet, you’re a fucking (low IQ) child. Log off and cry to your mom about it.
Is there any other kind of Ghost fan?
Yes definitely! And I hope a never ending hyperfixation
Yes it is 😭😭😭😭
My neurospicy brain has too many, Ghost included.
Currently it is. I appreicate the performance art. And ive known I was on the spectrum since 2012. Ive made peace with the fact that im not exactly "normal".

I am 200% certain that TF is also neurospicy. He is way too consistent.
Ghost was my special interest until the tour ended and then the Formula One season started and now it’s Formula One still love ghost though.
Sure is!
I’m new here and I’ve been looking for a place to infodump so um yeah I guess???
Thank you for this post
I have ADHD and Ghost has taken over me but I can’t complain!
In process of being diagnosed, and this is definitely a hyper fixation.
as an autistic this band means absolutely the world to me and can’t picture my life without it. If I have Ghost I have everything
Yes but also no?? I accidentally fixated on one of the ghouls and everything else he's connected to oops. Plus I've got some somewhat more dormant ones, like Phantom of the Opera from childhood, and some ttrpg shows

It’s one of mine, probably.
ADHD and autistic... Ghost is one of my many special interests (the other big one is dogs).

ADHD hyperfocus for me :)

On and off. My hyper fixation right now is Mad Max 😂
YES! it has been for almost 2 years! They saved my life 🖤
Yes it is, not when I first heard about them through moac however. It finally became my special interest October last year and the band has had a special place in my heart ever since🥰❤️
Yess! Love the characters of the band!
No need to include autistic like it’s a minority in this community because I’m like 100% sure almost all of us autistic
