obessions

Do you have any obsessions with like a certain subject? Tony Atwood says most female Aspie dont have an obsession. I have a Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus obsession, I have to buy everything that has to do with her and I know a lot about her.

Tony Atwood is very VERY wrong.

Yes, I do.

I am obsessed with aspergers awareness and internet business, I'm also obsessed with The legend of zelda.

I used to be obsessed with cats.

@jman: My dad is obsessed with maps too.

I had a map obsession for years too. Legend of Zelda is awesome. I definitely have a obsession about finding out as much as I can about autism as possible. I want to understand it completely in all it's complexity.

my obsession with road maps actually lead to a bit of an obsession with the weather. What started was the fact that The Weather Channel used road maps on their radar screens. I still am a bit obsessed with the weather. I wanna chase tornadoes one day.

I have been obsessed with the weather from the age I could read. As a kid I had a massie poster of all the cloud types on my wall from the national georaphic. I'm also so obsessed with tornados they plague my dreams every third night.

Scared s***less of them. If I ever move to the US it's going to be somewhere without them.

I'm obsessed with social survival, mainly.  I'm also obsessed with a few computer things that would annoy people if I went into any more detail.  By the way, Legend of Zelda ftw!

The earliest obsession I had was with Legos; then at about the age of 8, I got into anthropology - specifically how ape evolved into man; then at around 9, I was deeply obsessed with weather - even to the point of having my own small Heath Kit weather station, and having a chart of the type of clouds.  Around 10-12, I got into cats and the different breeds of cats (I am still obsessed with them); of course, music was always part of my life and a re-occurring obsession; then math from the ages of 16-26.  Now, it's progressive rock/metal (I still love other forms of music though), and some math; I terribly suck at math though; I'm only fascinated with the concepts and the different models of reality that mathematics can convey...I love paradoxes too.

I have two kinds of obsessions.  Short and long term.

Short term obsessions last about two or three weekys and usually relate to me learning everything I can on a subject that I have no practical use for.  My prime example is "open-pit strip mining". I spent two weeks researching everything I could on the subject to the point that I could pass for a quasi-expert.

My long term obsessions are fairly set.  I love travel....and planning.  I plan a couple hundred vacations per year that I never take.  Every so often I do take one though. Last year I splurged on trips to London and Munich for Oktoberfest.

My other main obsession is lists.  I keep lists for everything.  I got an iPad just so I would have something better than my phone to organize my lists.  An example:  I am nowhere near to getting married...I have a relationship that could maybe be defined as a "kinda-girlfriend", but for several years now I have kept an active list on who I would and would not invite to a possible wedding.

Yeah, I am a weird one.


Oh, and I am 31 and still love Legos....   :-
