Unfortunately, sometimes their interests really are not interesting to me.
Ditto. I'm guilty of being an otaku band geek so most people are way too mainstream for me to get along with. I try though.

Sorry but both physics and sports cars bore me to death. I would allow you to talk about your interests for as long as you wanted and pretend like I was listening.
I would be more interested in the fact that you had aspergers.
If I met an aspie with similar interests as mine I would be very interested and we would have a very long conversation.
I can not pretend to be interested in a subject that bores me even if the person does have AS. I would not expect that person to fake an interest in my interests.
Everyone ignores me when I talk about my interests. I would assume that all people with AS are pretty used to being ignored when it comes to their special interests.

It depends. If it's something they all ever talked about and they never talked about nothing else, I would get bored with it quick. If it's boring, I have a hard time listening to them and I end up zoning out and not even paying attention to them. I do this to everybody. I then end up doing my own thing. I wish I could tell them I am not interested in what they are doing but that be rude.
To answer the OP, I may find it all boring and not pay any attention to them and just do my own thing. In fact I would probably talk about something else ignoring what they are saying. They can talk about their stuff and I can talk about mine.
