My special interest is better than your special interest.

I use to have an intense in comic books I would catalogue different art styles in my head and lose myself in the words and the fantastical situations. Of course this alienated me from other people who thought comic books were nothing but garbage particularly in Australia I grew up. Its sport sport sport.

By the time I grew to my late teens, I realized there was something wrong with my interactions with other people so I thought understanding others would be my new area of interest.

That's what I do now, I'm constantly studying my fellow human creatures and this interest makes me good at predicting people's actions I'm a very convincing pseudotypical, I can talk with people about what they like to talk about which is other people until the mask slips and they realize I am bit peculiar.

My special interest helps me deal with my autism and I believe that intellectually understanding the motives and actions should be the business of every autistic person.

This is a superior special interest and should be viewed as such.
What is you're opinion, any haters.

^^^ hiya Dennis welcome to our club you might wanna talk to WP member Goldfish21 and compare notes.

I love it "Welcome to our club". This is precisely how social games articulate themselves. Compare notes with who?somebody who is a fraud, like I am?
Of course I'm not supposed to know that, the person the long term member who you actually intend to read it, should.

I get so excited over stuff like this. Rocking back and forth like y.k.w.

B.T.W. I don't believe in sarcasm its like Santa Claus.

My special interest is anime. Without Goku, there would be no human race left to learn from. Consider that.

Mine are Hogan's Heroes and The Kinks.

My, Special interest is Pokemon, and it helps me interact with the world because it is based on the world. Also, many people my age like pokemon, but not as much as I do.

I also enjoy trying to understand people, and their motives. I'm not good at it, but I try.

My interest is artificial intelligence. I have already created a perfect God like AI. Soon I will inject it into a robot to do my bidding.

My special interest is musical theatre, and while it made me an unpopular geeky teen, I did find my community in university, got a degree in theatre, and am starting to have some success as a writer, including a show that's been accepted to a festival in NYC.

Interest in theatre led me to get some training in acting, and while I'm a better writer than an actor, I learned a lot about improv and social scripts.

digital audio restoration/enhancement of analog originals. finding interesting audio equipment, especially from the 70s and 80s. collecting interesting musics. deep bass reproduction. Wurlitzer theatrical pipe organs.

she is a genius of our time. i'd put her right up there with Mozart.

^^I've spent a good while on Wendy Carlos' site before too. Not just the music and studio equipment is impressive, but also her amazing solar eclipse photography and interest in colour perception etc.

Which makes three of us - so I guess our special interest is winning for now!!

I also have a bit of a geek-crush for Delia Derbyshire; though sadly, she died a while ago now. The breadth and depth of her compositions is amazing, all the more so because she rejected even the synths that were available in her time in order to carry on using her direct electronics-to-tape techniques. In fact, pretty much any of the people working for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in the 60's and 70's were ahead of their time - the Wikipedia page for it is full of links that I can immerse myself in for hours.

I have no such interest, but a sort of bizarre innate understanding of somewhat similar things, and am *very* good at prediction when it comes to the actions and thoughts of others. I'm also good at manipulation (which I suppose can be seen as a bad thing, I'm not sure) and combining the two, well... my best skill, I'd say, is controlling situations.

But is it a special interest? Nah. I spend no actual time looking it up or watching people, as most people are bloody dull.

My actual special interests are gaming and twisty puzzles. And cosplay and travelling, but those are hard to do on a frequent basis. These things keep me from going totally nuts and are not boring, so they're the best interests I could have really.
