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?
Hhhmmmmm.....I am not sure on all that. Maybe some of this stuff your poster here, post it in the aspergers forum as well. I know people on here such as sila have aspergers and no quite a lot about it. He also has add. He might be able to help you differentiate a little bit until you can see a mental health professional.
