oh savvy that strikes such a chord with me. My son is autistic and we have long since got rid of our analogue clocks. They were driving him mad:eek: he could not stand anything that won't keep proper time in fact it upset him massively. Everything here is perfectly synchronised clock wise. It seems like such a small thing but for someone so obsessed with routine it can be very difficult :A

Actually didn't drive me mad! I functioned perfectly well throughout school (they never picked up anything like AS during my whole time there - everything I did/did not do now makes so much sense as to why).

I just thought, possibly some time during uni., why are we not on the exact right time? I cope with quartz clocks pretty well - even though they're always incorrect! And - strange person I am - when I had a watch (I now function pretty well with clocks at home, in the town centre and then at work - so don't need a watch - and there's a time display in my car (inaccurate though it is - and very fiddly indeed, I shall leave that on GMT plus the few minutes/seconds behind or ahead for the rest of the year), when I did have a watch, I kept resetting it back by a second or so every other day, just to put it back on the right time!! A bit glad perhaps to see I'm not alone in this! It just explains everything for me once again - I could never understand why, once we had the technology, all clocks made are not radio-controlled. (Why would you ever have an inaccurate clock?)

It doesn't infuriate me or drive me mad if clocks are slightly out. But I'm on the right, and only one, time.

everyone is different. My son stands on the doorstep every morning and won't step over it until 08.42.....why? because the playground opens at 08.45 and he has timed the walk to school as 3 minutes exactly without stoppages :rotfl::rotfl:

his preferred method of correct time is sky TV. he trusts that they always have the correct time. One thing us for sure, he will never be late.

on the down side he gets very disgruntled when other people are late for him. Doctors/ hospital appointments etc
