you might be an aspie if someone asks you why you do something a certain way and your response is "that's, umm, that's what I've always done. Why not?" Of course, if it's the way you were told it had to be done, then your response would be to list every reason you were given and your explanation for each of those reasons being valid.

When you meet a really hot somebody walking their dog in the street and you smile to the dog, not to the human being.

You might be an Aspie if you can remember all sorts of minute details about a book you just read...but you have no idea what the author's name is.

And mumbled out the "Girls of 3.14" When they're introduced as the girls of Pi. (revenge of the nerds).
- If you actually wondered what historical figures would actually think of San Dimas in 1989. And compare it to what they would think of it NOW).
- If you actually saw all the innovations come to frutition on Star Trek TNG. (such as computers that played an endless array of music, GPS cell phones, and above all Stem Cells replacing damaged organs (the episode where Worf's Spine was messed up and he cloned it).
-You write long winded Debates of how the Delorean would have vaporized when it by 1.21 Billion Watts (Giggawatts), of electricity. And write how the movie breaks the forth wall this way, instead of enjoying it for purely fiction.
-You were the one who Hacked WGN Boston in the 80s, with a Max Headroom segment of yourself. (and you're HERE reading it and trying not to laugh), your max headroom max is part of your archives of Geeky coolness. (ie Speed Racer toy dinky car, Civil War Memorbelia, base ball collectables, And other neat stuff).
-Actually try to make a girl that is actually hot, and only eneded up wearing a bra with your friend.....and being caught by your irrate sister who wants her bras back.
-You wonder if Cristopher Reeves was treated with Stem Cells, would he have evolved into Superman.

Incidentally, dictionaries have page numbers because publishers don't understand that some books simply don't need page numbers. It's traditional to put them in, and that's all they need to know...


I think it's so you can tell that all the pages are there. Which brings me to...

YMBAAI you check each new book you acquire to make sure all the pages are there.

That's actually a very good idea. I once took a new book on vacation and found there were about 70 pages missing out of the middle. That was a very long transatlantic flight.

You might be an aspie if, after learning a new route to a new place, you've figured out the traffic light timing by the third or so time taking said route.

...And you thus leave home TO THE MINUTE to make sure that all you get is green lights...And it works [this happened about four years ago for a whole summer!]

...Or you shake your fist at the traffic lights in anger because you know that the one you're required to take causes you to JUST miss the third upcoming light, so you're stuck on a red light D: .......

You might be an Aspie if you quote your own post just to let everyone know that you are still plugging away and are currently on game #584... :lol:

I'd be a lot higher than that if I had more time...


By the way, I have a newer Windows system, but I also have a 1,000,000 level Free Cell, and game 169 has had me stumped for MONTHS! I finally gave up the other day and decided to move on....very reluctantly. Have you ever played KenKen??!

You might be an aspie if you go to the same museum and visit the same exhibition every time and end up spending more and more time there than the last time...

If for 95% of your freshman high school year, lunch time was spent in the library.

If by senior year, you were working in the high school library because the librarians knew you and trusted you so well and you knew the library like the back of your hand.

If by senior year, you asked your high school librarian to print you a list of all the books that you'd read since freshman year, and you come to realize that you've accumulated 67 books, possibly 5 of which you didn't get a chance to read...

If you lost said list and you've wanted to rip your hair out for such incompetence!

If your books are sorted, not by alphabetical order, but by height so that there is a very defined line of wall space and book space...

If you could stay up for hours watching documentaries on Netflix, but you become so angry that you're unable to attain actual DVDs due to money issues...

If your bedroom is incredibly cluttered, but as soon as someone moves something one centimeter, you become angered.

If you're so predictable that your brother or sister know all of your passwords to ANYTHING will contain certain numbers, a certain word, or a combination of the both.

If you figure out how a book is going to end by just reading the first two or three pages...but wondering how the characters will interact is what keeps you hooked!

If someone can randomly text you and say, "Do you remember the name of the episode of such-and-such-a-show [*cough*CriminalMinds*coughcough*] in which such-and-such happens?" and you respond with the episode title...

If the same text-er asks you to give them an overview of the episode, and your fingers hurt by the end of the message because you've sent about 20 messages describing the episode with such intense enthusiasm and incredible detail.

If your professor figures out that you're about to make a comment because he notices your physical penchants...

If your classmates know you've fallen asleep in your favourite class because you aren't bombarding the professor with imposing questions or comments...

If you have a yearly tradition of watching a beloved show, and no matter how badly you try to break out of it, it just seems to draw you...and you end up watching that show, realizing you can recite it in its original language...that you've never been taught...

...if your high school calculus teacher answers the question "Should I use the chain rule or something else?" with "yes" and you are the only one in the class laughing hysterically at his Boolean humor.
