Frustrating clients help

[stevesideas]

After having been frustrated with various clients over the years (a minority amount) I decided to do a search online to see if there was any advice and found some pretty good tips:

I normally print out key phrases from text like this just to remind me. I have a wall of text...probably a bit OCD but it does help me out with freelance and life in general

Aren't most 3d guys though ?! Ive found I am so much more aware of lighting, shadows and pretty much every detail in every object as I walk along.

I think all you guys should be tested for Asperger's.

Restricted and repetitive interests and behavior
People with Asperger syndrome often display behavior, interests, and activities that are restricted and repetitive and are sometimes abnormally intense or focused. They may stick to inflexible routines, move in stereotyped and repetitive ways, or preoccupy themselves with parts of objects.[23]
Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of AS.[2] Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as weather data or star names, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.[2][6] For example, a child might memorize camera model numbers while caring little about photography.[2] This behavior is usually apparent by grade school, typically age 5 or 6 in the United States.[2] Although these special interests may change from time to time, they typically become more unusual and narrowly focused, and often dominate social interaction so much that the entire family may become immersed. Because narrow topics often capture the interest of children, this symptom may go unrecognized.[6]
Stereotyped and repetitive motor behaviors are a core part of the diagnosis of AS and other ASDs.[29] They include hand movements such as flapping or twisting, and complex whole-body movements.[23] These are typically repeated in longer bursts and look more voluntary or ritualistic than tics, which are usually faster, less rhythmical and less often symmetrical.[30]

I'm sure I fall part way into that diagnosis but I'm sure a lot of people do...we all have our comforts and life focuses.

that is why it is a spectrum. You'd be surprised to hear the names of people who have Asperger's.
