I was talking to someone today about how I tend to focus on one thing 'obsessively' for a period of time, to the exclusion of a lot of other things, and then it changes, and I have another 'fixation'.
I found this interesting article:

How does your monotropism manifest itself?
I'm not always a great fan of my monotropism.
Yesterday I went for a long drive to break the pattern.
I feel I need to do that sometimes or my head takes over my life.

Yes I understand that, it can be very difficult to change track or thought patterns once our monotropic brains are hooked on something.
It’s one of the reasons why sometimes I put daytime TV on or boring programmes as then my brain can’t find a hook or attention tunnel, which allows me to do other tasks.
It’s great that long drives help you.
