Is this a good topic title?

I was thnking about the topic 'Hobbies and interests' and I would like to suggest that as this is an autism forum it could be called 'Hobbies and Obsessions'.

What do you think?

Parents
  • I'm a regular on Geekplanetonline.com. All of us are geeks, very few, if any of us have ASD but the mainstream community would describe us as obsessional simply because our interests (sci-fi, fantasy, horror, gaming) are not theirs (football, soap operas, z-list celebrities).

    Hobbies and special interests would include me and others who are parents/carers or professionals alongside those with ASD where we have hobbies and interests in common.

    Geekplanet is very tolerant and friendly site with forums, articles and podcasts so if anyone has sci-fi, fantasy, horror or gaming interests and is over 18 I recommed the site. I do stress the over 18, though, as a) explicit language is routinely used and b) the horror content in particular is adult, and if you can't watch movies rated 18 (or the equivalent adult rating oversees) it would be difficult to join in effectively.
