YES!! ! My mother is so confused about why I seem to hate all of my relatives. I don't. I just hate it when they're around.

You might be an Aspie if:

when someone uses the cliche math joke-pickup-line "I wish I were your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves" you remind them that the derivative of a function is not tangent to its curves, rather, the derivative gives is the magnitude of the slope of the tangent line at a given point. However, a Taylor Series is "tangent to your curves"

If in your early teens you read books like: "The Burning House. Unclocking the Mysteries of the Brain" and Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace" and you have learned them almost by heart

If you love X men because they can be sorted into MANY groups depending on their abilities. X men wouldn't be even half so interesting if in Marvel world there were only several possible ways one's mutation can manifest itself.

You don't need to spend any time thinking to come up with an experiment that can definately show 1+1 does not equal 2

...and your first thought is "Well, that clearly depends on your definition of '1', '+', '=' and '2'." and you start to think of a dozen or so useful definitions where "1+1" is either less or more than 2 (or completly unrelated) that could be falsified through experiments.

Hey, if it isn't an HP, it's a toy. RPN Rocks! :lol:

You might be an aspie if you defrag your hard disk at least once a day. Every day. For years. Bonus points awarded if you defrag the hard drive of every computer you sit down in front of. In classrooms. At other people's houses. Co-workers when they step away from their office.

You might be an aspie if you can recite the first few paragraphs of James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake which you read once 40 years ago, but you can't remember the name of the person you just met seconds ago.

You might be an aspie if you spend many, many hours researching a purchase, only to find that when you finally make the purchase, you feel empty and let down. And never use the thing you just bought.

You might be an aspie if after you visit your family for a day, it takes you two days to recover.

You might be an aspie if the 10th time you read the same book, you finally notice that a section of dialog that you thought was a rational discussion is actually a heated argument.

You might be an aspie if you can't stand the sight of a tangled phone cord in someone else's office, and have to stop what you are doing to get it untangled. Bonus points if the person is in the office when you do it. More points if you have no other reason to be in their office!

As I'm sure other have noted, 'been there, done that!'

You might be an aspie if you realise you share more personality traits with your cat then you do with any member of your family.

AMEN!! !! Thank you, it's one of my *many* pet peeves.

It's called English, people. If you're from somewhere else you get a little forgiveness; if you grew up in an English-speaking country then go back to school!

You don't know about the evolution of languages do you? Languages evolve because people change their usage. Only when that has happened will the official language rules change. Go back 300 years. Look at the writing. Are they using proper grammar, contractions, spellings, for today? Do they sound the way people today do?

Contractions are a relatively new invention...Don't think so? Check out an old King James Version of the Bible.

BeeBee

Um, you mean that's not okay? :wink:

As long as my clothes don't stink or have obvious stains on them, I'll wear them until they do.

Yeah, honestly... why shouldn't it be okay (if they don't smell or have stains)? That would be perfectly logical to me...
Kind of an aspie question I know! But after all I am one, :wink:

and I've never understood that, really... I don't mind if people do that, and I've not really heard anyone complain about it.
Sorry if I'm offtopic! :p
