Hyper focused hobbies

Does anyone else become hyper focused on a topic/hobby based on one minor experience that lasts for around a month?

For example; I’m not even a huge fan of Star Wars, yet when I saw a few short videos explaining which brands make the best quality sabers, I immediately hyper focused on that particular hobby/topic for around a month. I was completely ready to drop $500+ on something I really didn’t care about a week later, but in the moment, I feel as I MUST have that object.

Right now I’m obsessed with chainsaws, which I’ve never bothered to even slightly research beforehand.

Maybe it’s bad money management, but I equally enjoy researching and becoming fully knowledgeable about the subject

I’ve been diagnosed for as long as I can remember (19/M) but I don’t really hear this being talked about often. I guess I just want to see if I’m not alone on this one. Thanks
