My obsessions are just there for me when I am bored and have nothing to do. I don't know what NTs do in their spare time
My NT cousin is really into guitars and so he practises on his guitar a lot of the time. NTs can have intense interests, otherwise their lives would be pretty boring too. I mean, they can't be socialising 24/7! My brother is NT too, and he watches films, goes on the internet, even still plays his playstation.
One of my other cousins is 11, and he is a very ''typical'' NT, but he never, ever comes off his playstation 3. He is always on it, and he's on it so much that he's even had bad headaches which the doctor diagnosed as ''too much playstation games''. All his mates are addicted to playstation 3s aswell.
The only difference between NT interests and Aspie interests is NTs know when to stop talking about them. It doesn't mean they don't pursue their interests less. And I'm not even going to go into how mad my dad is over football! It literally takes over his life. Literally, and I mean literally. He split up with my mum years ago because of his intense football interest. But he is no Aspie. If you met him, he is a very ''typical'' NT too, socially. He doesn't talk about football to anyone who isn't interested. I think that's where the line is between Aspie interests and NT interests.
