Attention span

I am very motivated, and this might explain why I have been so successful in camouflaging my aspergers over the years. When I was a child, and even more so as a teenager, I had very narrow and intense interests: food as a child, Titanic- followed by by the actress Kate Winslet-as a teenager.

When I finished the 6th form I went straight to my local university (I still lived at home with my parents as I still do) and did a History Degree, and I did very well. Because I had to read about other things than Kate Winslet, my obsession with the actress gradulally diminished in intensity and eventually I stopped being interested in her, and I was left with a broader range of interests. I still get very interested in certain subjects, and when I am interested in something everything else gets sucked into the dominant interest and I forget to do important things, but I am definitely more flexible and prepared to learn about new things.

I am very motivated to be likeable and this means that I try my hardest to follow the social rules when I am out in public, although I don't always succeed,and I experience a greeat deal of stress and anxiety if I over-socialise, which eventually leads to panic attacks.
