asperger special interest

why is special interest in transportation, maths, science, video games or computer are very common in asperger's special interest?

  • well here what I've think, you are right, it could be anything but for me I'm not interest in those, I love disney characters very much as they are so cute and some share autistic condition like me. 

    well look like you are interested in different cultures as history and language are part of cultures interest as well.

  • I think special interests can be anything, but you've just listed some of the most common and the ones people tend to know about. Mine are horse riding, languages, and history, so completely different! But I am a woman so maybe that's a factor too.
