I also fear losing my interest, because it is quite fun and relaxing. It is a great escape from stress. It helps me interact with others, something that is not easy for a lady with Asperger's. People find my obsession interesting and will ask me questions.
People tell me, I talk too much about mushrooms but I don't care. It fulfills me and gives me something fun to do.
P.S. I also enjoy drawing them.
