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.
was it refreshing and did it give you a fresh new way of coming back to your chosen activity? It does for me. An hour walking the shore break does it for me.

Sort of - not completely.
I took one particular 'obsessive interest' with me to the shops.
