I meant as my symptom of ASD.Restricted by law? Avoid them.
Restricted by poverty? Sad.
Restricted by physics? Well, not much hope for you there.
Restricted by religion? Change religions.
I have so many broad range of restricted interests that it fluctuates overtime and it will take a long time for me to list all of them, as I create new ones as well.
That is what I meant.Do you mean to say they are too time consuming? I also have a lot of interests and i am glad i have them
What do you mean by 'restricted interests'?
Very niche interest?
Interests that people don't approve of?
Or what?
In what way are your interests a symptom of autism?
@Oz67
So you're saying you're interested in so many things
that if you tried to pursue them all there wouldn't
be enough time in a day to do so?
I think those interests would be better described as
"special" or "particular" rather than "restricted."
Still don't understand the context of what constitutes a "restricted interest".
I can only state that in the case of my own special interests, most of them tend to reflect things that accommodate my autism rather than oppose it.

Do you wish you had a comfortable way of prioritizing your
interests, so that you didn't feel over whelmed?
If you could decide what to do first, when, and for what length of time?
That sort of thing?
Yes, it does sound diagnostic, rather than howIt's kind of a clinical term.
