But is the general two catagories for Aspie interests fall into either

Technology and / or Art ?

Roger Bannister is an inspiration to me. His ability to accomplish what was previously considered impossible and to become an accomplished individual in life, despite the odds against him, makes him a person to admire.

One of my special interests has always been 'work' with dogs ( training ). I have this interest since 3-4 years old little girl. This interest helped me to go through my solitude moments when growing up, and the thing which helped me to remain emotionally 'stable' (for God sake! ). So, now is like it was only a naive dream, and I must to left behind into childhood for becoming an offical 'adult' ? Or should I pursue my 'dreams' ? ..

The curious thing is that, when already a grown up person like I am now, studying a degree in college . I like my studies ( Geography ) very much, but still I always take confort in my love for the 'Dog world' when I have hard or tough times in the 'real' world. Is it still possible leave my childish dream behind, and becoming a normal 'adult' ans still being the same person ? I don't think so, ... But everybody ( family, friends, .. ) wants that I became a more 'mature' person and start thinking about a 'normal' adult, and leave my childhood behind. But everybody knows that them most famous actors and actresses of hollywood are this 'celebrities' because they decided to pursue their dreams, and in most cases they fight for their dreams since their most early age, with passion and determination, so they became what they are now, ... and the rest of the normal 'adult world' don't seem to mind about it, on the contrary they admire them, ...

So the controversy is here, ::: becoming a responsible adult means 'wound' the inner child ? I say NO !
On the positive way ; lots of psichology magazines recomend to 'hear' our inner child to avoy to fall into negativeness (depressions, suicide ) and bad 'habits' (drink, smoke ) into adulthood.
I guess, the solution is a combination of both : growing up means to be more responsible, trusthfully and sensitive than you were as a child, but still with the 'curiosity', 'happiness' and 'freshness' when you were a child, that's the way to remain 'stable', .. what you think ?

Does it make sense what I said on here ? ..

My interests are divided into time slots

There is long term interests that range from 1-10+ years
and there are short term interest that range from weeks to months at a time

I try to steer away from getting into short term interests that will seem like a waste of time
