Special Interests?

Post Reply New Topic

Most people with aspergers or something along the spectrum usually have some sort of interest.
I want to find out which interests are more common among those who use this site.
This even though might not provide useful information seems interesting and I think that some people would also enjoy this idea.

My special interest:
-Science

And then there are temporary interests for some like me which change usually when I get curious.Might be the same for some as well.

I've always had a general interest in science, movies, history and video games but my actual special interest is without a doubt sonic the hedgehog.

Hogan's Heroes, WWII, Germany, Military music and Autism Acceptance.

My special interest is space travel, which is quite extensive because it involves a lot of things like science, engineering, math (a lot of it), history (mostly the cold war), physics, computers (for navigation), economics (those rockets have to be built somehow), and studying every known planet and moon (not excluding Earth). In a lot of ways I am a stereotypical nerd.

My main interest is music of most types. I listen to music most of the day.

Secondary would be Astronomy. Various other things pop up from time to time.

Maths
History
Physics
Currency
Birth dates and other statistical information
Memorisation

Music Statistics
Psychology (especially the science behind dreaming)

Right now, at least.

Doctor Who and its spinoffs

My current interests are American Sign Language and programming.

Horses since age 3.

Unfortunately, I've had so many riding injuries that I just look out the window at them now. And feed and water.

My secondary long-term interest is reading fiction, especially spec fic, but my eyes are getting wonky and my tastes more exacting, so I do little of that.

So I'm working on my tertiary interest, acquired in college: writing fiction, especially stories exploring ethics in speculative fiction.

And then there's this whole "Aspie" universe my recent diagnosis opened...

I love science fiction and fantasy books and films - everything from Star Wars to Harry Potter. I'm also really into comics at the moment, but not the superheroes ones. I don't know why but I've never enjoyed them as much as non-superhero fiction.

Autism and similar disabilities, forums, writing, my imaginary worlds.

History
Philosophy
Politics
PC Strategy Games
Writting

-Skyscrapers
-Maps of cities

-Loki, the Norse God of chaos. Mostly the Marvel comics/MCU versions, but I really like the Norse myths he figures in.
-Star Trek, especially the Deep Space Nine series.
-Ancient Egypt, especially the mythology.
-The drow of the D&D setting Forgotten Realms
