As people with Asperger's and Autism usually are fluent/addicted to one subject or thing, what's yours?

Let me start. I'm "addicted" to computer programming and website designing.

The internet, and music. Computer games to a lesser extent as well. My computer fufills all three addictions for me, so you can guess where I spend all of my free time.

Maybe one of these days I'll go live a fulfilling life of some sort, but honestly the internet houses all things I'm interested in so I don't see the point.

Anything.

Former smoker. Quit, Drank. Quit. finally. Moved to food, internet, collectible collecting, and mass research on everything.

For food it's junk like chocolate and cheesecake and nachos...I get it in my head, then ocd...then nasty until I have it and then I'm okay but feel bad. Just like an addiction haha.

Nicotine: any delivery system is acceptable; I prefer snuff.
Chocolate: in any form; cake, candy, cookies, etc.
Books: you can never have enough books.
Cartoons: they are relaxing & probably represent a simpler time for me.

Tom Hiddleston, Tom Hiddleston... oh, and did I say Tom Hiddleston? :3 No seriously. That man is absolute perfection. <3

I mean look at him:

Aside from him, I love Pokemon and writing. Those are are my biggest obsessions that come second to Tom. XD

I was obsessed with watching TV & playing video-games as a kid but I became obsessed with computer, forums & music when I graduated & got a computer & net. I was obsessed with my two ex girlfriends & a celeb I heavily crushed on but I'm not as obsessed with my current girlfriend due to treating my OCD with the rite medication for me. I'm not really obsessed with anything nowadays & I'm more functional & able to enjoy a wider range of interests because of it.

I'm also addicted to caffeine. Energy drinks used to be my preferred delivery system, but nowadays it's mainly coffee and tea.

Behaviour analysis. My pseudo-addiction is anything to do with introspection. Reading or listening to people's thinking about their thoughts and other behaviours is awesome.

Video games and buying them

I can't stop myself buying a game when its on sale or when I get into an impulsive mood, which I'm trying to stop.
