Aspie Obsessions

Post Reply New Topic

I have a lot of interests. I always remember being interested in something.

My most enduring interest has been animals, especially cats. My favorite breeds are the Siamese, Tabby and Calico, because these are the breeds I have had.

Medical topics

Geography-I always remember being interested in some country. Those I have studied in depth include Japan, Spain, Argentina, Ukraine, Russia and, now Uzbekistan. (The last two are connected to my interest in tennis player Denis Istomin, an ethnic Russian who plays for Uzbekistan).

Music-My favorite decades are the 1950s and 1960s. I also like Classical music and Broadway Showtunes (Evita, Cats)

Tennis, both watching and playing. My favorite players are Federer, Nadal, Ferrer and Istomin.

My everlasting obsession is drawing and also cats.

My other interests since puberty have been Turkish grammar, idioms and proverbs; lung cancer; symbian phones, metal music, Finland; English; anime/manga, Japanese language and kanji; keto / low carb diet; mental illnesses and then autism. Some of them passed, some of them are still there.

I, too, studied about Finland. I was very into the Olympic Games and followed the lives and careers of famous Finnish athletes, mostly long-distance runners such as Hannes Kolehmainen, Paavo Nurmi and Lasse Viren. I was never able to run long distances myself, but I was very interested in the people who excelled at this discipline.

I've never been really attached to a person (even my parents).

I'm interested in many things. There are times when I get in the mood to go into depth, and research a specific topic quite a bit.

About six months ago, for example, I wanted to get every interview which Jimi Hendrix gave. I usually like to "hear it from the horse's mouth," so to speak.

Just like I wish that Jesus wrote an account of his life. All we have are four main chroniclers, who have varying views on their subject (i.e., Jesus).

My favorite Internet site was one dedicated to Siamese cats. I made so many good friends on that site from all over the world. Sadly, that site no longer exists. I got an e-mail from an old cat site friend that said a new site would be formed. I can't wait to bring everyone up to date on changes in my life, even though some are rather sad.

I have a love-hate relationship with Persian cats LOL.

They tend to be spoiled, and they tend to develop hairballs.

But Zum Zum, a Persian, was one of my best friends when I was 15 years old.

I'd like to get a Scottish Fold

Some people really like it when a person is really enthusiastic about something.

Some people could care less.

I am inspired by enthusiasm. I can't stand apathy.

Yep...teachers can be that way. They do have to do lots of paperwork.

I wish they would tell kids in a nicer way, though, that they have to do their work. Fifth-graders are almost always smart enough to know that a teacher needs to do administrative tasks in addition to teaching.
