Trivial question asked out of curiosity: Anyone else have issues with motor control and iPhones/iPods? I never know how hard to tap. Either I don't tap hard enough and I sit there waiting while nothing happens, or I actually do tap hard enough and not realize I did, so I do it twice and the machine does something I don't want it to do. Sometimes my finger will even "stutter" and I'll tap twice accidentally. Grrr...

It's a really tiny issue in the overall scope of my life, but I was just wondering. I actually doubt this is exclusively an Aspie thing, although we may be more predisposed to it.

I used to do that, but you get over it pretty quickly. You have to train yourself to carefully touch it and not feather or slam it. I took me about 6 weeks to get over it when I got my iPhone.

That's good to know; thanks. :)

BTW, I like your avatar. I have a kitty that looks like that, except he has a black nose.

Yeah, that's my kitteh. They stand out when they are outside so you can find them easily.
