I used to hyperventilate when I was younger, much more. I passed out in movies like the Exorcist, or Christiane F (in which you see drug addicts shooting heroin into their veins).

I have it less, or it is because I haven't been in situations where it could happen.
I can't see blood, I could even hyperventilate reading a passage in a book in which they describe an operation in a hospital theatre.

Now was, is that something that is part os Asperger?

yeah, same here. I remember the first time I watched CSI, I was eating a sandwich of some sort, looked up on the screen from my plate and saw the pathologist guy sticking scalpel in some weird places in this badly decomposed body... guess I don't have to tell you what followed... bleaaah!

I got used to it now, actually I started enjoying watching the CSI autopsies ;p haven't seen real blood in ages though so I'm not sure if I got rid of the hyperventilation and blood'o'fobia thing :)
