Spintellic Attraction is a form of attraction in which one desires to tell someone about their special interest/hyperfixation. It is exclusively experienced by neurodivergent folkel whose neurotype involves special interests and/or hyperfixations. It can accompany other forms of attraction (eg. platonic, romantic, social, etc); however, it doesn’t have to.
A spintellic crush is known as a spinsh (alternatively spelled as spinch).
History
The term was coined by Tumblr user synpa-tee on September 15, 2021. The flags were created by the same user on the same day.[1]
Flag
The spintellic attraction flag has six stripes: three green stripes of different values and three red-orange stripes of different values. There's a black infinity symbol in the center, with a green and orange outline. It combines the autigender flag with the ADHD flag.
Etymology
The term is a combination of 'spin,' as special interests are often called 'SpIns,' and the word 'tell.'
