What is/are your obsession/s?

Lanky_Runner

Hello, this will be my first time interacting with other autistic people so I’m looking forward to hearing from anyone.

I’d like to hear what obsessions and hobbies you may have. Bonus points for really niche ones, but anything goes.

Mine would be driving safety and theory. I have a special ability to judge my surroundings exceptionally well which makes me quite handy behind the wheel. I also have a copy of the Highway Code that I take everywhere, I don’t know what it is but I just find all that stuff intriguing and quite exciting. There’s a YouTube channel called Ashley Neal that I watch religiously, great if you want to improve your road safety and attitude towards driving.

Thanks for reading.

  • Hi, I like this thread. From me nothing niche or original - aliens, Erich von Daniken and his ancient alien theory which sounds logic to me. I also love creating, houses, dollhouses, building houses of lego duple, in the past there was sewing doll clothes and also trams. As a kid I used to draw tram line schemes with schedules in my own imagined cities and floor plans. I had a file full of them but unfortunately destroyed them all because I believed my hobbies were wrong - git laughed at because of them and literally told they are obsessions. Now I wpuld pay gold if a fairy gave them back to me. And one of my obsessions was also Russian to the point that ative Russian speakers didn't recognise im not one of them. My only friend laughed that I could be Putin's tutor. That obsession lasted around 10 years. Quite recently I was also morbidly obsessed with autism itself to the point of feeling sick of it. Decided that I have to stop it and done successfully. That was my therapist who gave me a homework to learn more about autism.
