my obsessions are powerchairs, assistive technology, stock market, neurological diseases and disabilities, sensory integration disorders, radiology, straps!! !

my sensory integration disorder / autism is calmed/relaxed/comforted by the following i love soft silky straps and restrainy thingies!(see what i mean at http://bodypoint.com) tight warm things and places, deep pressure, sensory deprivation, being mummy wrapped, extremely tight hugs, blood pressure cuffs, lead aprons, soft latex/PVC thingys

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know. :roll:

its a non psychological neurological wiring thingy that makes you unusual in the way you process sensory input... hyoposensititive people like me like sensations similar to mine listed above... hypersensitive people are the kind who dont like being touched because they cant stand how it feels to them

Hmmm...

Video games, anime, Wikipedia and it's (thousands of) derivatives, neurological disabilities, comparative anatomy/evolution, comparative/evolution of languages, martial arts...

Discovering AS and hyposensitivity came as an explanation as to why I enjoy straining against joint locks and pressure points, being thrown/doing break falls, and even getting nailed by the occasional errant kick or punch

Video games - esp. Counter-Strike 1.6 and the Final Fantasy series
House
Heroes
Dragonball Z

Those are my recent interests. I've held ... very, very many minor interests throughout my life. Counter-Strike's been the huge one since high school. I could tell you so many player names and tags and teams and histories and handles... I used to write down team lineups in my notebooks in school, where most kids doodle.
