Estiesgenic[]
An Estiesgenic system is one that was partially or completely formed out of a hyper-focus, special interest, or similar neurodivergent interest. This origin may overlap with or be seen as a subset of neurogenic. It can also include dreamway systems (a kind of paragenic system).
Due to this being specific to neurodivergent interests, the term is only to be used by systems that consider themselves neurodivergent and have intense interests like autistic special interests or ADHD hyper-focuses.
The term is derived from the Greek word for hearth or home, which was the meaning of the Latin term focus.
The estiesgenic flag is made up of a red stripe for focus and the Red Instead autism acceptance movement, white for peace and sensory comfort, green for the safety of home that is brought by a neurodivergent interest, and gold overlapping circles to represent plurality. (Gold is often also used as a color to represent autistic people due to its chemical symbol being Au.)
The term estiesgenic differs from spingenic/fixagenic in that is an umbrella term for all systems/members formed through neurodivergent interests, whereas Spingenic is specifically for autistics and fixagenic is for hyperfixations (a feature of ADHD).
Spingenic / Fixagenic[]
Another set of terms related to systems that form due to neurodivergent interests is Spingenic/Fixagenic and related terms. The below terms were coined by The Stargate System[1].
- Fixagenic: A system whose members form due to hyperfixations, only for those with neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Spingenic: A system whose members form due to special interests, only for autistic plurals.
- Fixative: A member who formed due to a hyperfixation. May identify as an introject as well or as related terms, again exclusive to those with neurodevelopmental disorders.
- Spintive: Similar to a fixative, but for members who formed due to special interests, and exclusive to autistics.
Additionally, as a term from the -based suffix, there is the term spinbased/fixabased[2], a system whose members and/or structures are based in these neurodivergent interests, and the interests have affected the way the system is, but was not the original origin.
