I had a hard time learning anything in school I was not interested in and people say lot of people have that problem.
I wouldn't say my interests are narrow or else I wouldn't read anything else or playing any video games or do anything else except read about my main interests only.
Yeah I don't know if my interests are narrow or not. I do other things that aren't related to my main interest, like a watch t.v while I eat and I go on WP everyday. I just spend way more time reading than the average person. Still I feel like my world is a lot narrower than the people I know in real life (my sister, my friend, even some of the people I know from my ASD support group). It seems like these people have richer lives.....they like video games and anime and certain movies and shows and they play musical instruments or make music on youtube and they sew costumes and go to cos-play conventions, and they have social lives, AND they read fantasy novels. I just read my o novels, occasionally look random things up I'm interested in, do some research related to the books I read online (but minimal), go on WP, and watch a couple shows while I eat. Also the things I look up are almost always related to etymology (the origin of words) and the meaning of words and parts of words, things related to Linguistics which I'm studying, things related to autism, and the novels I read........but even these are somewhat broad categories-it's not like one narrow aspect of linguistics or autism that might spark my interest. Is that having narrow interests?
