I think that's alot of what parents miss when they have an AS child. They are so focused on how their child is spending too much time on one thing, they fail to see all the other things, perhaps typicall NT, they could be interested in that would get them in trouble. Which is why I really don't get...

I don't control my daughter's interests. To be honest, I'd rather her obsess over something productive like cleaning her room, but we don't get to pick what our children decide to take an interest in.
