I want to know if this is just a "me thing" or if it's a possible "Aspie thing."
For a lot of forum threads, especially those with multiple pages, I like to start at the end and read backwards. Often I'll end up even reading long posts from bottom to top, one paragraph at a time. Somehow it all seems to flow just fine.
Anyone else?

I read many threads that way. I figure the latest discussion is at the end so I read that, but then I need to know where the discussion started from so I have to read backwards to the beginning.
I read a lot of new webcomics that way too.
I read posts backwards too. Sometimes I will read the last page of a thread and keep reading the posts and go to the next page when I know I should be reading the first pages first.
Sometimes I read a post from the bottom to the top. Sometimes I read parts of it and most of the time I skim when there is too long of a post.
