Repetitive and narrow interests

Autismman

Just wondering what others thoughts are on their interests and how those interests may have impacted negatively when they need to try learn new skills and or adapt to a new work environment. 

A little background on myself; I have very little interest in much outside the scope of the news, gaming, some history, nature and occasionally the spiritual world. It sounds quite extensive and would appear to cover most of the reality we find ourselves in however I have always lacked ambition or had any interest in what may be known as “being successful” or “popular”. I’m happy being me and my routine keeps me sane and feeling safe but I do not think others would understand this way of life or being. 

Any common experience or thoughts very welcome, thank you

    My special interests have been predominantly science based until my later years. They didn’t especially hinder me but I guess I was deeply masking, just playing the NT games. As was as real science I loved sci fi, the classics from 50s, 60s, 70s such as Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Larry Niven., Siak, Pohl.  I don’t think anyone has ever shared my interest in this genre of fiction except one recent very special friend , its sad but I learnt to live with it, masking again, not able to enthuse about my favourite authors.
