Since I've discovered Aspergers, I think it has become one of my "Special Interests"... I am always reading about it, and thinking about it, Haha. I can see why It would be one of my special interests because my special interests include things like Epilepsy and Schizophrenia.

Does anyone else have "Aspergers" as a special interest?

When I learned about my Asperger, it became my special interest for the next few years. I also developed an interest in studying other mental disorders as well.

For ten years it's been except I didn't start reading about it till the year 2000 before my 15th birthday. It helped me understood myself better and I learned mine really wasn't that bad and then at 15 I figured it was mild. Now I don't read much about it anymore because it's the same information over and over. I prefer memiors about it or fictional stories or going to the forums.

I wouldn't say it's ever been my "special interest". I have looked up [and retained] a lot of information regarding ASDs in the hopes of seeing which one I have with reasonable accuracy, but it's never been for "fun", nor does it make me "happy" like the special interest does when I'm partaking in that.

I do the same thing with anything I research.

I find behavioral neurology fascinating anyway and Asperger's has become one of my special interests.

It's never been my main obsession but it is along the line of my special interests.

Asperger's is definitely one of my special interests. It has been an intense interest of mine on and off for a few years now. At the moment, my special interest in AS is definitely in an active phase.

Yes, although I'm researching it less than I was. I guess I'm tapering off.

I haven't been able to do much reading on the subject, though I have tried a few times and have a couple of books but didn't get anywhere with reading them so no, I guess there's no special interest there. Living with it is stressful enough to deal with and I guess I don't really care much for reading about it too.

YES! That's exactly what is happening to me.
Now I'm buying books and searching on the internet constantly.
I can't stop talking about it.
My friend threatened to punch me in the face if I didn't shut my mouth.
