When I sit down at my PC it's to work, or to check Facebook.  When I sit down at my Amiga I want to create music, or paint pictures, or tinker with the configuration to eek out a little more performance... or occasionally to play some old game out of nostalgia.  It's a totally different feeling between the two.  :)

Quote from: nicholas;740976
I wonder what the incidence rate of individuals who fall within the Autistic Spectrum are within the Amiga community (or even retro computing communities in general) is compared with society as a whole?

I'd be willing to wager it is pretty high.


Don't know much about autism, but I tend to think of it as an OCD.  I have been known to spend hours tweaking each individual pixel of my icons and window spacing to make them exactly how I want them, it sets my nerves on edge to see anyone post screenshots using standard Workbench 3.1 icons.  ;)

Like Clu from Tron: Legacy - building the perfect system!
