Actually, a lot of people with Asperger's become fixated upon certain, very specific hobbies. Obsessive even. Usually they learn as much as possible about a certain thing, even if they don't actually have much interest in participating in the activity they are learning about. So it might be related to your condition.
It may well simply be an ordinary hobby though - everyone has them.
I have Asperger's myself and I have always been fixated on one thing or another. In fact, becoming fixated on specific topics is so common amongst people with Asperger's that it's even part of the diagnostic criteria!
It's also very common for people with AS - especially guys - to become fixated on modes of transportation such as trains, planes and automobiles of all kinds, including trucks!
IIN that I am interested in long haul trucks, and trucking in general?

Sure. It's a hobby.
