Noting that this thread is nearly two years old: AS is highly correlated with deficiency in executive function. This would explain the bread incident, although not the other two.
Is 'AS' supposed to mean 'Asperger's Syndrome'? I was thinking so and the bread incident does sound like an executive control problem, but the third TV incident sounds more like a schizophrenic sort of hallucination.
It sounds like the type of unusual, creative, synaesthetic association that can occur under the influence of cannabis or psiloycbin mushrooms, or just sleep deprivation.
