nature of special interests: different for AS girls?

Post Reply New Topic

I do have a storng interest for trains and ambulances but I don't actually spend time absorbing information about them. My interests are strictly to anime and anime is everything to me. I hardly follow interests that boys are into and I'm also a tomboy too. I played with matchbox cars when I was young... up until about fourteen or thirteen. Since I have a few delays in learning and development as well. I was always one to play outside and never enjoyed my barbies. I even enjoyed playing with legos and more masculine sort of things.

But never had interest in the actual Aspie interests. I have HFA so its a little more different for me. I do remember having a HUGE obsession with the move Space Jam. It was a rental movie and I watched it nonstop. But come time when it had to go back, I had a melted down so much because I didn't want to send it back. We still had to take it back and soon after my parents but it for me on VHS.

My interests usually involve anime now. I can get so absorbed in a new anime that you'll here me going on and on and on and on and on about that anime. Like take Code Geass for instance, I could be so obsessed with Code Geass that its all you would ehar about. If you spoke about something else or some other anime than I would go silent.

It's not like that now but its usually shorter than it used to be. I remember being younger and also being obsessed with Nascar though. I mean I hardly understood the concept of Nascar except that the car drivers raced fast around a track and whoever was first one. I didn't know much about how it worked or the cars or the bigger details. Yet, first getting into anime, I remember knowing so much about Inuyasha that I considered myself the biggest Inuyasha fanatic. I still love Inuyasha to death because it was my first adult anime. I loved Inuyasha and actually still do.
