I do have both aspergers and ocd. The difference between the two is that AS is interest driven whereas OCD is fear/need driven. The two intersect in an interesting yet pestering way.  |

| Schedules can be evaded if online classes are available. As far as motivation, I have the same problem. Exercising willpower can be worthwhile even just to find that one interesting question or problem. |

| I've observed that in normal people the material becomes boring on its own, eventually being overshadowed by a previously secondary interest (possibly still related to the old interest one way or another). |
