[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 393698, member: 1991"] Thanks for the book link, HaoZi. I haven't come across him. Interestingly, I was talking at church yesterday to an adult Aspie friend (very recently diagnosed, but we suspected it for years). He gets serial special interests, tends to keep them and add to the collection. For example, even though he is not German (I think he studied it at school) he developed an interest in a dialect of German called Platt-Deutsch (I think that's how it's spelled). He searched the world to find books written in this dialect and then would tell us all about the intricacies of this language. In detail. He studied as much of this language as he could, and read the books he found in that language (including a copy of Harry Potter!). We quite enjoy talking to him because we understand this level of obsession; plus he keeps all this detailed information on every subject, in that head. He's a great mate to have on board in a trivia contest! Just hand him the pen... the borderline Aspie in the rest of us dovetails neatly. I think this is why Aspies seek out other Aspies as buddies. As difficult child 1 put it about his Aspie best friend, "I obsess to him about birds, he obsesses to me about reptiles, neither of us listens to the other and we got on great!" Marg [/QUOTE]
