How do I stop talking about the same topics all the time?

[Buzzer]

Part of having Autism is having specific interests- Example- I'm super into geography and I spend a good portion of every day thinking about it.

This is a gift and a curse. On one hand, I bet I will find a job where my knowledge of geography will make me indispensable (which is likely because I will be majoring in history, and geography plays into that). On the other hand, I talk about it all the time.

But the trouble is, I don't know how to stop. Every conversation I have always seems to lead back to geography. Other topics just don't excite me- Talking about geography gives me a thrill that no other topic can match.

I'm legitimately seeking help here because my brain is an Autistic brain and sometimes I need the innate social knowledge of non-Autistic people to help me figure out what to do.

Can you delineate exactly what you mean when you say "talking about geography?"

To me there's a difference between, say for example, being very interested in places, their histories, the things that make them unique or well known, vs. are we just talking about borderlines, physical sizes, locations, etc.?

It would probably be difficult for me to find the former boring.
