I work with a 15 year old boy with high functioning autism/aspergers who has a passion for roller coasters. He is having difficulty making friends with similar interests. Anyone out there have a similar interest?

Why is he having difficulty making friends with similar interests? Have you tried a rollercoaster fan forum? There must be more than a few of those about, after all.

Roller coasters are a special intense interest of mine. I am obsessed with them. By the time I was in high school I had memorized the statistics of every roller coaster in North America without trying. I would like to communicate with this boy about roller coasters, but I am 46 years old. But if he wants to talk about roller coasters with me, let me know.
