I have many obsessions--the Eastern Roman Empire from the fall of the West to 1453, ghosts, horror fiction and movies. I'm obsessed with death, probably since I had a fraternal twin brother who died two hours after birth. My biggest obsession is the heart--I have always been fascinated by its beating, to the point of having a fetish to hear a woman's heartbeat. But my interest is also expressed in reading all I can about the heart. I've often felt like a freak for this fascination--it is what helped lead my therapist to diagnose me with Asperger's Syndrome.Im surprised i didnt find a thread about what everyones obsessions are, since thats the one characteristic that defines people on the spectrum. so thought i would start one
For me, I have an unhealthy obsession about books and japanase manga. I have a huge library of books ranging all the way from The Godfather to Clarke's masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey. There are a ton of others i have collected but havent gotten around to reading them yet, for some reason just owning them feels like ive completed my goal. As for manga, i mainly read them online (cause they are sooo expensive where i live) and have a digital library of over 300 titles.
So what keeps your mind occupied?
I appear to be obsessed with building my vocabulary, and with feeding Corvus Brachyhynchos(the American Crow). In reality I am interested in too many things to list(too lazy). I have some wet boards with words I enjoy hanging on my walls.Im surprised i didnt find a thread about what everyones obsessions are, since thats the one characteristic that defines people on the spectrum. so thought i would start one

Have you heard? The PENTAGON has diagnosed Putin as Asperger.
My wife!
And also my dogs. But to a significantly lesser degree. Almost measureable in fact.
What's the interest here? Why this map above everybody else's map?Always maps...but lately one in particular. The boundaries of Hungary circa 1941. Germany was quite generous to Hungary- largely at Romania's expense.
