In the ados assessment last week (still waiting for the second assessment) one thing I was asked was my about my hobbies. I don't know if this is normal, but when I find a hobby like crochet it's all I do for the next 2-3 months. I spend hours and hours and hours a day on these hobbies . then suddenly I don't care anymore. Is this normal?
As a female, I present typically with regard to my interests:
'It is not the special interests that differentiate them from their peers but it is the quality and intensity of these interests'.

Moving from one interest to another once one is exhausted is typical too, I believe.
