this part i am really curious about your experience with, as i have some of this too:
Encompassing preoccupation with one or more stereotyped and restricted patterns of interest that is abnormal either in intensity or focus
Do you tend to watch things obsessively, like on repeat? Especially things that make you feel a certain way?
I am reminded of a documentary of Antonio Gaudi, that I watched hundreds or possibly thousands of times.....at night, I often watched it on endless repeat, usually around 10 times in one sitting....I wonder how many adults do this? Can you relate?
for me it's typically obsession with certain subjects. When I was young it was the bible, and jesus. Computers, Qabalah, Steem.... These obsessions tend to have a certain life to them. I get focused on one thing, obsess about it, learn everything possible, and then my mind finds something else to be obsessed with once I see the shortcomings.
I've watched every episode of adventure time many times, and I used to go to bed to the same movie every night... there are movies I've seen hundreds of times... but I've never watched the same thing over and over and over....
