I think my special interest is people I love to find out about people and research every aspect of there life, talking about celebs here and famous people. I love to find there roots and then read through how they became the famous people they are today. History is my other special interest. Like reading about important events like the wars, saw that Titanic news recently to which they also talked about at school.Those are my special interests.

I love animals as well especially tigers and wolves, though, I love every animal I find them very interesting.

I'm interested in everything to do with WW1 and WW2.

Special interest in photography as well which I do every day and then love to look through my photos and now share a lot of them here.

Music, especially from the 80s.

My special interest is Sherlock Holmes - books and the TV programmes/films. I like looking at how the Cumberbatch Sherlock series uses the short stories.

Detective stories generally as well - I like reading Poirot. 

Research projects, which usually are over some sort of political issue, and reading. 

This is the first time that I've managed to get the courage to put up a comment on social media

I've previously replied to this thread with Star Wars (probably my primary fixation), but recently reminded of how much I love maps.  It is one of the abilities I am most proud of - the fact that whenever I go somewhere new, I study a map for minutes or hours (depending on prior familiarity with the area) and pretty much drive straight to my intended destination.

The maps can be real-life (Ordnance Survey a particular favourite), or fictional ones (Tolkien, Star Wars galaxy, etc).

A few people have mentioned their interest in German culture, so here's a link to an article about relevant, recent tv shows. But what I found really interesting were the readers' comments, many of these detailing life in the DDR:

'From rampaging teens to female assassins: why has East German culture become so cool?' ~

Hi Billy. Great thread, very interesting to read all our interests. I also have an interest in Germany and Germans, love their culture and history.

My own interests are connected to animals and wildlife, specifically bears, wolves, birds and sea life.
Lego – sets and minifigures + the Lego films and video games.
Discovering and learning more of other countries and places. Very lucky to now live in the United Kingdom having lived in North America for 21 years. I’ve been in the United Kingdom for five years and am still finding more to discover and learn here.
Writing – by hand and on computer. Love to write fiction stories.
Comedy films – Simon Pegg is one of my favourite actors as is Rowan Atkinson.
Soccer (football).
Basketball.
Cars (classic) and mechanical things.
History (American, French, German and Italian).
Star Wars.

Ice hockey

Team Fortress

Fashion 

Doll collecting

Punk/Goth culture 

Metal

My interests are very disproportionate. I would say that my, very, very special interest is Harry Potter (particularly the core book series and fanfic) and that has never gone away. I'm also very interested in Japan, the country, it's culture, and the language. I also like board games (the kind that have thick rule books and often miniatures) and video games.

Office US are better than UK? I was comparing them recently but then forgotten about this. I need to watch one more of UK version and then to US one. I’ve seen the clips of US version and they are brilliant! 

I had a massive vampire pash in the 90's too, got into gothic music from any manner of different countries. I wrote for an amateur magazine, and got lots of books and CD's for free to review. Fun times, and I never have never given all that completely.There's a lot of new music to discover, currently. My taste in movies is for intelligent gothic/ horror, in literature too, but these days a good mystery/thriller works for me. 

I am also fascinated with the convergence of archaeology and ancient myths: the links with the Atlantis myth and the Minoan eruption, whether or not the blasted ruins discovered at Tall el-Hammam inspired the Sodom myth. 

Paintng and drawing have always mattered to me.

Then there's my citrus and herb garden, love having a balcony now. As a child collecting things was my thing too, starting with old and rare coins, to seashells and semi-precious stones. I still like looking for seashells, on rate trips and holidays to the sea. 

I usually like the sounds (Wii Sport Theme) I am profoundly deaf and hear them and to my mind I see them as iiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeoeoeoeoeooooo, Bam bun pop. (Oddly I'm weird, but I know I'm wasn't the alone one). Fondest with the old commercial adverts, Love Phnes4U, when they use the sign language?, Oh that PG Tea Monkeys and not forgotting PCworld Handshake at the end of advert. Mind blown!

Thanks for starting a great discussion. 

My dedicated interest is:

• Autistic Experience, Community and Culture. I love everything about it! I love the autistic led YouTube channel Aucademy and the podcast 1800 Seconds on Autism.
•  I particularly like commenting on this forum.

I accepted my fate as a Weatherwax a long time ago! 

Flying FPV drones is my current one.  The feeling of flying is pretty unique.  it is something definitely very intriguing to people with ASD.  I have been teaching my nephew who has far more advanced ASD than me to fly as well.

Outside of that I love architecture and shapes.  Complexity in anything is just interesting.
