But if an aspie is obsessed with anything, take it away from them, it's also a nightmare so I also see it as an addiction. If it's not an addiction, then they shouldn't get so upset and feel depressed and anxious and suicidal if they are taken away as a punishment. It shouldn't be a problem then.


Yeah, that'll end well. As a functional aspie, with several obsessions/addictions/interests, I don't believe you even begin to understand the position of people with AS/autism. Our special interests are the things we absorb ourselves in when the rest of te world sucks too much.
