You Might Be An Aspie If - The total value of the computers in your home far exceeds the total value of your clothing.

But, computers are expensive and cloths are cheap unless you're one of those wackos that buy designer labels . . .

YMBAAI You have more computers than pairs of jeans.

But again, you only really NEED 2 pairs of jeans right?

YMBAAI You are happy about the BP oil rig explosion because it is a chance to try new technologies.

YMBAAI: You remember that in second edition AD&D (which you haven't played in nearly 2 decades) a short sword costs 10 gold, does 1d6 damage, a long sword costs 15 gold and does 1d8 damage, a two handed sword costs 50 gold and does 1d10 damage (by the way, shouldn't it cost 20 gold to follow the pattern?) and chain mail costs 75 gold and has an AC of 5 . . . but you can't remember why your wife sent you out to the kitchen.

mmmm the memories.

YMBAAI At age 6 you tried to make a mud ball "factory" and spent the day making it efficient and coming up with quality control specs for said mud balls.

Y(ALSO)MBAAI You don't understand why this does not get you any points in a job interview.

At least I threw the mud balls at the neighbors dogs.

You might be an Aspie if you would rather read the entire collection of Ripley's Believe it or Not in your high schools library or anything written by Bradbury/Heinlein/Asimov than romance novels or similar drivel directed to high schoolers!

You might be an aspie if you had to read the quote (above) 3 or 4 different times before understanding the joke as well.

...you cycle ("to ride a bike" is "to cycle", right?) to school, and halfway you realise that you can't remember anything from your ride so far, but you're safe and you're still going.

...you can speak English very well, without being from England, and you're glad that English aspies are still better at English than you are.

...people online estimate your age decades higher than what it really is.

...babysitting is a nightmare.
