How the heck do you manage to pull those off? I've managed only one. (with my wife)


What are you having in mind referring to "pull those off" and "managed only one"?


I mean how do you have multiple romantic relationships? I have had only one romantic relationship my entire life.

I have lots of special interests of varying intensities, but I have three that truly define who I am and are all-encompassing. Those are I Love Lucy, Cedar Point and their roller coasters (and, to a lesser extent, roller coasters in general), and science (my favorite area being neuropsychiatric disorder, particularly psychotic mania). I find special interests to be the most fascinating aspect of ASDs, and I wish there were more research done on them. I've only read a handful of studies about them. I just think it's so neat how each person's special interests are individualized and have their own story.

And because NVLD has been mentioned, I thought I'd say how I have both Asperger's and NVLD. That's another area of research that is woefully limited.


Secret NVLD handshake! I swear I will have to invent one. I am glad we agree that special interest are so fascinating. It's the reason I started this thread, and you're in the perfect place to talk about psychiatric disorders. I've never seen any episodes of I love Lucy, but I heard of it.

What's Ceder point?
