Special interest
So, many autistics have a special interest which is a deep interest in particular topics. It can be anything, music, science, books and many other things. There is a stereotype about trains but I also feel like many TV series fall into the stereotype of choosing a specific animal as a special interest.
Here are few examples:
Sam Gardener (Atypical)-penguins
Woo Young-woo (Extraordinary Attorney Woo)-whales
Nicholas Moss (Everything's Gonna Be Okay)-bugs
Addie Darrow (A Kind Of Spark)-sharks
I kinda get the feeling it's just the easiest subject to choose as a special interest and I know the last two were written by autistics but it's still feel too simple sometimes. Animals are a great subject but I know a lot of autistics and they may like weird and special animals but that's not their special interest.
These are the examples I had in mind feel free to add more in the comments or reblogs if you have more and let me know if you want a general post on special interests of autistic characters that is not only about animals.

How it started vs. How it's going
At first the narwhal swims on the outside of the group, trying to keep up with his new friends in unfamiliar waters.
When the same group of whales is spotted a year later, the narwhal swims in the middle of the group of belugas, now officially a permanent member of their pod!
From: Secrets of the Whales (2021) Episode 3: Beluga Kingdom

My mom and I just watched the scene where Jun-ho gives Young-woo his jacket and she just
"Okay, so apparently I'm gonna live for these moments, aren't I?"

nothing but adoration for myeong-seok and his giles-ass energy. not exactly a father figure not exactly an authority except in a particular context, but the younger protagonists DO see him as a dad figure and they DO defer to him (except when they go haring off on some Quest For Justice or similar scheme and he has to sit there at his desk and out loud say to the empty room why did you even come in to ask me if you were gonna do it anyway?) and while he is, in general, very academic and reserved about things he's not really that far above it all and can be easily convinced to join the chaos, except he does it with this twee little look on his face like aha! what fun! as if he can't quite believe that a) he's included and b) he's doing this 'fun' thing right. his intense legal professionalism is the lens through which he comprehends the world and communicates, and so long as he's within that framework he functions perfectly BUT as soon as you derail him even slightly off this familiar track, he gets super frazzled and flustered and it makes him irritable. in conclusion your honor, he is also autistic but a generation too old to have gotten diagnosed as a child and he has more social skills than the one autistic person he knows so he simply has no idea and probably never will
