Can a person who has Asperger's Syndrome have a special interest in another person that becomes dangerous?
Of course they can - just like anyone else. AS doesn't make anyone either more or less likely to become obsessed or stalkerish.
A:If one of the special interests of a person with Asperger's Syndrome is another person, it can appear to be stalking, but it is not the same. The person with AS is trying to learn everything about the special interest, but is not usually a danger to that person. This is not to say that a person with AS cannot be a danger, but as the previous poster explained, they can be that just as anyone else can. The special interests of a person with AS appear to be obsessions, but there are psychological differences between obsessions and AS special interests. However, both can make the target equally uncomfortable.Also, misunderstood communications can exacerbate the situation. If you tell a person with AS that he or she can visit anytime, you probably do not mean that the person can visit three times a day, every day, but the person with AS who took your statement literally might not realize that. In addition, you might be the only "friend" the person with AS has, which means that all the hours each day that you might divide between multiple friends, the person with AS is trying to spend solely with you. But, this is not stalking in the usual sense.
