yes, obsessing whether or not i tick all the boxes in the diagnosis seems to be a prevalent past times of mine. how meta.

My wife laughed at this because it has become very true for me since I was diagnosed.

Considering I google autism news items daily definitely yes.

If you asked me 5 years ago I would have predicted it would be an obsession for awhile then taper down. I should have taken into account repetitive behavoirs :D

I have evolved in my thinking about because I see so many things that debunk my opinions. Also things going on in the outside world have altered my thinking.

My autism special interest has turned other special intrests into plain old interests.
