I am a 19 year old with aspergers going my third year of high school also known as gymnasiet or the gymnasium when translated to English.
What I would like to know is , is being highly skilled in more than one subject rare to have for someone with aspergers?
Because as of now I have two main interests I am quite skilled at and those are computers and anything related to software of which I have 9-10 years of experience since I was a little boy.
One example of this was the time I had to configure a Ubuntu server on an ancient 12 year old desktop machine to use as a media server running plex which meant installing additional different programs such as a firewall ,an ftp server but also configuring the network settings manually.
Or that one time I had to clean out that same PC because it was insanely noisy but also because it became hot after a while which was why I opened it up only to find craploads of dust bunnies in every nook and cranny because that PC had not been opened up since it came out of the factory in 2007 and when I used pressured air to blow out the dust it was like a literal blizzard of dust bunnies.
I also have one more special interest and that is aquariums and aquarium fish , in fact I became so enthralled and interested in getting an aquarium I researched all I could find for several months non stop which all culminated in me getting my first aquarium set up during early January this year and now 5 months later it's still going strong and I hope it will for years to come.
In fact if a beginner asked me for advice he/she would probably have more success keeping the aquarium alive than asking a pet store employee for advice which is not always a good idea because they can say things that are just harmful myths or they will not tell you about important things such as the nitrogen cycle or that mixing certain species of fish such as mixing oscars and cardinal tetras is a very bad idea which is something that seems to happen in american pet stores such as petco or petsmart .
My next project in terms of aquariums is to start keeping discus in a large blackwater aquarium of 300 liters or larger possibly with cardinal tetras.
