An obsessive interest in a single subject is a major symptom of AS. Some children with AS have become experts on dinosaurs, makes and models of cars, even objects as seemingly odd as vacuum cleaners.

It is carried by a gene called   FBN1 , which encodes a connective protein called   fibrillin -1.   People have a pair of FBN1 genes.
