So, do I seem AS or not?
I also forgot to mention - something that does seem plausible for the AS case to me - I have no idea why, but looking at older videos or youtube clips of older television graphics, from the "analog" era (90s or early 2000s) tend to freak me out a little, it could be because I compare those algorithms to the current ones, and the stark difference feels eerie to me. Also older technologies like old cell phones, analog television sets, etc. make me feel a little uneasy, but it isn't too debilitating to my life. I suspect a reason why has to be tied to my early childhood - memories of how things were back then, and things were rough, for me, but things were different in my family, for the better - and I think a part of my subconscious is reminded of how things were back then, so whenever I run into an old commercial or whatever, I get these nostalgic subconscious flashbacks? It's either that or it has to do with AS or some sensory issue - I have other specific phobias like hearing voices on the phone in a calm environment (at night), or seeing my reflection in the dark. But, it isn't very crippling in my life.
What could explain all of that, though?
