When I took the little quiz on am I or am I not aspie thing. I noticed a question about magnetic fields. I can't use a portalable phone. It's like I block the signal or something. When I use a land based phone and I need to cover the the voice mic, I get feedback, like a high pitched squeel. Is this just me? Phones ringing make me jump and almost go into a panic. I dunno, maybe thats just me bracing for what I always assume is going to be bad news. I even do something else that will really sound crazy so in fear of scaring people away I won't mention it, now. I did see a study being done on it once, but I still won't say it yet. I will say it has something to do with street lights, not all just some. Maybe someone else has less fear then I do.

Some ppl make alot of static electricity so much that they can not work with computer circuity boards or chips this is direct contact. Like when you rub your shoes on carpet and zap ppl with the buildup only alot more. And blocking radios is not that uncommon. Have you messed with a uhf tv att. and see how easy it is tune in and out by touching it. So yes your body can be used as an att or blocker. As for the lights maybe but more likely the light goes out and you pass, not you pass you made it go out. But than again i could be wrong.

I have problems with watches and clocks. They gain exactly seven minutes if I am too close to them. Even the clock in my car does this.

Do you make street lights go out? I do that too. Freaks me out. Makes me feel like an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Yup :D Lately I've been turning them on. Some people that I know have that effect on batteries, they can't wear watches that have batteries for example. Now the gaining of time or maybe lose of is a new one to me. I was just wondering if this is a common trait. I'm still in the sorting mood here. Thanks. Oh and I never did hear what the results were from the school that was studing the street light thing.

My computer has always had real time clock problems. It jumps 2 hours head for no obvious reason at random times. Though there is not a chance in hell my body is doing it. :)

Nope not the same thing. I build my own computers, very aware of static. I know what to touch in the house to get rid of it.

I live in the sticks (American slang for country living), hills and leaves block tv signals or used to before cable tv. We used to have to have three people to tune the uhf, one to watch, the other to pass the info and one to move the antenna. It would always happen that the best signal was when the person doing the moving was in some contorted postion that they couldn't possibly hold for more then 5 seconds, lol.

I called my counselor maybe 3 hours ago, dogs were making noise and I put my hand over the mouth piece, screeeeeech was the sound coming out of the hearing end. It's called feed back for those that don't play guitar. This was on a land based phone line. I can postion myself in all sorts of rooms and directions for the wireless phones, just doesn't matter, they won't work or I should say work well enough to make them useful.

As to the street lights, I do it with certain ones and I do it on a repeated basis. Not 100%, but a bunch. My wife has seen me do it. I can tell her to watch a light and then get close to it and it goes out. I'd have to make an awful lot of static electric to put out a street light

I was just wondering if this was a common trait as like I said I saw the question on the quiz and really didn't have a clue why it would be asked.

I've never known anyone else that could do that. My husband noticed it a long time ago. I live by this really long and tall bridge. If drive over it at night, the lights go out in front of me when I get so close and take forever to come back on. If I drive down I-75, same thing. It's very freaky. But it even happens to me on regular streets. I never knew it was magnetization.

My father would actually make watches stop. They had him put felt behind the face and it allowed him to wear a watch. The doctor told him it was polarization. That was long ago. I am OLD.


I grew up in the sticks as well. Very strange. I never thought about that being related to AS. You said you saw a study?


I do make TVs fuzzy, but I haven't noticed the phone. I don't get on the phone much.


I'm so excited someone else knows about the lights!

Lights do that to me too. I never really payed attention to when they went out, but it always happens when I reach a certain proximity.

I kill wrist watches, but it's okay, because I also reac to the metal on the back of most of them, so I guess I'm retaliating without thinking about it...

Another light killer here. I looked it up, those things last near forever, and not all, but enough to make me wonder, stop when I walk by. Most have a daylight sensor, they go out at first dawn. I cannot wear watches or rings, it constricts my aura. Sometimes I see other people's, it is usually a warning.

I would never tell anyone about this, except strangers on Wrong Planet.

I am not ready to try to quit yet, does anyone else find this place addictive.

I have seen humans, but I never knew people existed.

haha Is that what that is. One of my school friend's mom did LSD back in the day. One of my old boyfriends had done it and said he saw Jesus' face melt in a painting. Freaked him out. My friend's mom loved it and thought Timothy Leary was a god. Before I was being treated for migraines, that used to be one of the things they gave you to try to treat them.
