An AuDHD woman has revealed that her special interest is compulsively opening and closing apps on her phone. 

Kelsey Dacey, 37, who is definitely not a phone addict, just has a hyperfixation on the lovely glowy supercomputer full of instant dopamine hits. 

Dacey said: “It’s not like I don’t have other interests. I also like movies! I can do both at the same time – see? Wait, what just happened?”

“I don’t like the term special interest anyway,” Dacey continued. “It’s patronising. I’m actually an iPhone expert.”

Dacey could not be reached for further comment as she was THIS close to beating a legendary level on Candy Crush.
