Can you have Asperger's without a 'special interest'?

Autumn75

When I was diagnosed I was told that I had either high functioning autism or Asperger's. The official letter I received stated that my diagnosis was Asperger's. I don't have a special interest that I obsess over though. Well not that I can think of. Do you have to have one if you have Asperger's? Thanks

  • Asperger's was my diagnosis and I can say I don't really have any obsessions. Or at least, not any special ones. If I pick up a new interest I can dive deep into it, but the feeling doesn't last. And while I might have a good eye for pattern recognition, I'm not overly fastidious about separating my M&Ms either.
