Doctors thought for a long time that I have Aspergers because I also am passionate about one or two specific things and everything goes back to that. But I'm not. I don't think it's something you should try to change, it's part of who you are. Look at it this way - everyone else is "obsessed" with mundane day-to-day stuff and that's all THEY talk about. That's how I see it and I find it very boring! You just need to find friends who share the same interests as you do.
BTW, I don't believe that people with Aspergers should try and be like everyone else. Their brains are wired differently and it assumes that "everyone else" does everything right. People should learn how to tolerate differences in each other, IMO.
I understand it's difficult to communicate with people sometimes; I have that problem, too. But I do my best and try to find people who can appreciate me for who I am because I do the same for them.
If you try and force yourself to talk about other things, it will just be a fake interest. I think it's better to be your genuine self.
