Kids with Asperger's Syndrome sometimes have fixations on certain subjects.
David has had many.
He currently likes to catalogue his favorite TV shows by name, synopsis and interesting facts.
This one is for the Ed, Edd and Eddie cartoon.
Oh, and there are pages about the characters.
I chalked this up to an Asperger's thing.
Um...
Until I looked across the room at someone else's fixation.
Mine.
I printed out multiple lists of Jane Austen spin off books.
I cut them into strips, alphabetized them by author
and then discarded the duplicates.
Then I made a little book of them
so I can keep track of what I have read and make notes.
Hmmmm.
So maybe not an Apserger's things...but an Apple doesn't fall far from the tree thing?
And then I remembered that when I was in my Star Trek Voyager phase
(and really, who hasn't been there at some point)
I printed out all the episodes and marked them off as I watched them.
And then I purchased the episode guide.
And even attempted to list each time the variation of
"I'm a Dr. not a _________"
quote was used.
It seems that David
Like his mother
really doesn't do things in moderation.
Fixation.
Passion.
Focus.
It is really just the way you look at it.
