Is it possible for me to have an obsession about my own medical conditions? If anyone brings up any of my diagnoses, I will ramble about them for ages. Yesterday I gave the carers of this supported housing a monologue on visual processing disorders...

I think I have seen some posts here that say that one of their special interests is their diagnosis/condition/AS etc. So probably you are not alone in that. Many people including me would love to talk about themselves given the chance.

my special interest is in Classic Autism, but I can give a decent "lecture" on AS too

It is very possible to have an interest in your own diagnosis and there is nothing wrong in talking about it at all it is a good way to express yourself.
