Have you ever...

I find television script, movies and literature easy to break down. They tend to follow similar patterns and structures -- unlike real life situations and people -- which makes them easy to predict. And if you get poor writing, then the same can be very true about the dialogue.

As far as knowing anything in advance or actually predicting what's going to happen, I have to say nope, never happened to me and I'd be hard pressed to believe it were possible.

me. the same day you know who got her jail sentence, i started to think about her and the days she was in parent trapped, i felt something was going to happen.

I do that all the time where the exact thing that I was saying comes out verbatum in the press a day later. Especially in sports brodcasting. Plus, I had a great year gambling on nfl and world cup....I think i'm getting a decent reputatiion as a guy that can pick winners in my group. On a different note, when I lived in Germany I told this doctor that I knew that my ear kept ringing quite often and he told me that in folklore there that meant that someone was thinking about you. I don't believe it but I often think of who it might be and pretty much end up getting called or contacted by that person soon after.

What continually perplexes me is how many things I've done in my life that were Autistically strange at the time (long before I was Dxd), that later became fashionable.

I was carrying my school books in a shoulder satchel back in Jr high in 1971, because I wasn't comfortable using a locker between classes and standing in between a row of strangers - plus I always had books of my own and art materials to carry around, so it was just practical for me. I probably would have been teased for carrying a purse back in those days, except that I kept so much to myself no one ever spoke to me. I continued to do this through graduating High School in 1977, but back packs and book bags didn't become trendy until the late 80s.

And that's only one of several things that 'normal' people would have considered extremely peculiar at the time I started doing them, but became the norm 10 years or more down the road. I never thought I was being a trend setter, never went out of my way to call anyone's attention to these things, its more like I sensed the cultural Zeitgeist well before the neurotypicals did.

Wish I could know which of my odd habits were going to catch on, so I could get rich promoting them.
