It won't stop changing. One minute I love disney. The next I love robotics and the next it could be fish. It's really getting on my nerves now. I'm lucky because at this present moment it is still robotics but I have a gut feeling it's going to change!! ! :help: :help: :pale: :pale: I know others may experience this. But is there any way I can stop it from changing??? :cry: :cry:

I know it can get frustrating if you end up spending lots of money on one interest only to find yourself moving on to a different interest, but I don't think I find changing interests to be an annoying thing, probably because I enjoy myself while I'm researching/doing whatever it is that I'm interested in.

I'm in a different situation than you. My main interest right now is hockey, but with NHL season closing down. I need to find a new interest pretty soon. I don't spend a lot of money on stuff either, just kinda of soak up information. :lol: As for a way to change... there's really not a whole lot anyone can do really. :shrug: It's the same for people who don't have have autism too, some people can have one interest that lasts for a while. While others change constantly, but my problem is that my interests are pretty random case in point * a while back I had some interest in Vikings * don't get me wrong vikings are cool, but when will a conversation start up for vikings in the modern world. :?

I wish I knew the answer, my interest change all the time without warning. They may last years or just a few days. Sometimes they resurface sometimes they don't (or at least haven't yet). I've wasted thousands of dollars over the years on things that seemed more important than life itself at times and yet now are meaningless. At least now I understand why. If you figure it out please tell me.
