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

I really never got that, now I do, it's funny

...if you and the postman (also AS) try so hard to avoid eye-contact, you make eye-contact, by checking if he is making eye-contact, because he shouldn't, and me neither.
...if you're in a bar and to avoid social interaction, you organise the coasters on brand, colour, size, quality, geometry, and spent 2 and a half hours reorganising them, because you can't decide what has the highest priority.

You might be an Aspie if you'd rather have your teeth drilled sans anesthetic than a kiss.

(Not rhetorical, by the way.)

You might be an Aspie if you have legitimate reason to worry about what would happen to your reputation if the people at the library are paying attention to the books you check out.

(Yay for special interests.)

You might be an Aspie if the soft classical music hurts your ears, so you turn it off and play Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog on loop for a few hours.

LOL, or do this in place of normal social interaction. :nerdy:

He also doesn't look to content, I can understand, all those annoying people who think they can start a conversation just because you're the postman.

YMBAAI you wonder why sleeping like a baby is a good thing, when anything else like a baby isn't, and babies typically wake up every few hours crying....

. . . you have spent all of your day off compiling a list of people likely to show up to your sister's upcoming cookout and trying to analyze previous interactions with them in order to compile a list of possible conversations (both their side and your side) in order to be better prepared for the inevitable.

. . . you've been working somewhere for 3 months, it's employee review time, and in the comments section there are the phrases "cold, brutal efficiency" "almost inhuman accuracy", and "needs to work on being more personable"

. . . you intentionally spelled it sonofghandi and not sonofgandhi because you like to see if anyone notices (just putting this one out there in honor of a few messages in my inbox).

. . . you were made fun of in elementary school because of the words you used, because the only way you knew how to talk was from a mix of what you had read in the chronicles of narnia, the hobbit, some charles dickens books, and the bible.

. . . you would rather pay to talk to someone you don't know very well via email than be handed a $10 bill for every minute you talked to them face-to-face. (theoretically speaking, of course).

. . . people constantly say things like, "i saw you driving by the other day and waved. why didn't you wave back? did i do something to make you mad?"

i was on the a honor roll when i first started high school. . .but then people started to hate me because of it (or at least i was convinced of it myself). . .and everyone ALWAYS expected me to perform well i quickly found out it was just easier to stop caring.
withing a month i went from straight a's (and 2 b's) in all my classes, to nothing but d's and f's.

...your facial tick came back by the time you finished reading the first post because of lack of spell check. (Sorry)
