Autistic people, did your special interest exist prior to the year 1800? If not, what would be the closest thing to it?

By exist, I mean something you’d be able to study. For example, dinosaurs existed well before 1800 but that doesn’t mean there was a good way for the layman to learn about them.

    I love working on in-depth puzzle solving, anything from everyday problems, to disassembling computer programs… I think I might have been something involving that sorta thing. Not super math related, more like pattern identifying.
