Fixation/obsession

Bex

Hi everyone,

I’m not sure where to post this, but thought this seemed like the right place.

I’m keen to explore link between neurodiversity/ASC and developing in fixation or obsessive thoughts about other people. This has been something I have done from an early age and it’s continued throughout into adulthood. This has impacted on my mental health and to the point of being unable to attend school and later go to work. This has impacted immensely on my mental health and ability to have relationships.

I understand there is a link between fixation and attachment, but I’m intrigued to understand that if a person could become a ‘special interest’? Where there is a compulsion to need to know everything about someone?

  • This is interesting and I think it's understandable why you're curious about this. I have a tendency to like to find out about people I interact with online and in the real world. Not as a stalker though but because I love information and find people fascinating. Ironic really as I myself am not really a people person, I'm too anxious, I just like Knowing about them.

    Not sure that really makes sense Thinking
