You Might be an Aspie if...

Post Reply New Topic

You restart real time strategy games, because you don’t like the way you have arranged the buildings

You can spend hours building a home in The Sims, but lose all interest in the game once you actually move a Sim in

Before compiling a play list of your favourite music, you play the songs in your head, sorting them so that the last note of the current song matches up with the first note of the next song. Then once you are satisfied that they “flow” you proceed to only listening to the first minute of the songs

You spend more time on Amazon rating your recommendations, than you do actually shopping

You brush your teeth with your eyes closed

You wonder why people ask you how your day was, but then they walk away before you have finished telling them?

You feel the need to correct people who say PIN number, ATM machine etc

Halfway through your response to a question, the other person tells you that it was rhetorical

...you wonder why this thread isn't sticky anymore.

YMBAAI:
You eat all of your vegetables first, then the potato (or starch) and finish off with the meat.

The first time you watched "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and the cool dude tells the kid when he is on his date to play the 4th song on the first side of "Led Zepplin IV" and you waited expectantly for "Stairway to Heaven" and instead he plays "Kashmir" from "Physical Graffitti" which is the last track of side two of the first record in the album.

Other people don't get you.

When your mind associates random things with your topic of interest and if you voice it your friends/family/acquaintances just groan.

... you notice that the board used to show how many views your topic had but it doesn't do that anymore.

You might be an Aspie if: You realize you've spent 4 hours reconfiguring your user interface for WOW and only two spell locations are different now.

YMBAAI: You get a call at the age of 19 from your U.S. Army company commander in Germany saying that the Red Cross called and your parents want to know if you are still alive since they haven't heard from you in over a year.

...you are obsessed with the consumer product colorings Blue 40 and Yellow 5.

This happened a month ago: Everyone was saying how nice another department head"s hair was and you say, "Did you mean to do that?" I later found out that she had finished chemo for breast cancer and had finally grew enough hair to not wear a wig.

Sorry, but I just remembered another one: You ended up marrying the only girl that refused to let you bail on the first date.

I apologize for all these postings, but I just found this site after discovering I have AS and have a lot of pent up experiences that I haven't been able to share to anyone before.

If you look attractive on the outside, compared to your nerdy-looking AS friends, and a year after reaching adulthood, can't get away with being Aspie, so you try to drown your AS with techniques and gizmos, try to find punishments that you can pay about 100 dollars for, and try to spread a hatred of Aspies and Auties. Also, you wonder what will happen if you succsessfully "drown" it.

- You're reading this thread on your iPhone while someone is trying to talk to you.

-You'd rather go bug-hunting with a friend or by yourself than to a party.

-Small talk doesn't interest you.

-You find videogame music the best stuff you have ever heard.
